It was before 7 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and me were sitting there talking over the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Freeland and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen lease car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so anxious. Yet another job in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not understanding how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you get in this position don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances quite easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Oxfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Freeland (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the most common issues that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Freeland - Freeland Fuel Removal

A gentleman had broken down just off a road in Freeland. His Suzuki motor had ceased running and he'd no clue what was awry until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten very little sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason.
