It was around seven pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were resting discussing the recent footy results, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Shores Green and filled petrol in her diesel Renault lease car by mistake. She was very troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe area and, as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to find her without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in Oxfordshire done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties:

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Oxfordshire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Oxfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Shores Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up the car. They can also take care of any of the standard issues which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
