It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there going over the rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Leafield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus hire car by mistake. She was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the woman swiftly.

Our Areas of Experience :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously do not switch on the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can easily produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Oxfordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.
