It was after ten pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated talking over the rugby rankings, prepared for the 6th call for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Hethe and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental in error. The unfortunate lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car into a safe spot and, because it was just a short distance away from our van, we could find her without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Oxfordshire we have noticed more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases fairly easily.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Hethe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hethe - Hethe Wrong Fuel

A man phoned us from Hethe to state that he had foolishly pumped petrol in to his diesel SEAT. "Shocking! I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took the fuel drainer about fifty minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel out of the car. He completely purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealer rates to get the task properly done.
