A gentleman stopped on a street in Freeland required a fuel drain close to a month ago. His Hyundai was stopped roadside after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was calm when he called us but a little worried to get his car from the road because he was generating considerable traffic. We were on scene in a quarter-hour as our technician was in neighbouring Freeland and had completed his previous job. He said, "I simply do not believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and got stuck right here! My vehicle was not running well I simply had to stop and then it just conked."

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Oxfordshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And of course take care not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations rather simply.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, if we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Freeland (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill the car. They will be able to fix any of the typical troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Freeland - Freeland Wrong Fuel Drain

A man phoned us from Freeland to state that he had mistakenly pumped unleaded in to his diesel Honda. "I can't believe it! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It only took the fuel drainer roughly fifty minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel out of the car. He carefully cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealership rates to have the work properly completed.
