It was just before ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were sitting there discussing the golf rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Letcombe Regis and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet rental in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, since it was just a few minutes from us, we could reach the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and less apprehensive. A job in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in case you may have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing serious and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is likely to lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Letcombe Regis (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Letcombe Regis - Letcombe Regis Fuel Drain

I had a fantastic day fishing on my day off and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were away in Letcombe Regis. They'd pulled over after adding petrol into their MG, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing goes on all the time in Oxfordshire and that it's actually nothing at all to get worried about, however he still had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed so long and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
