It was after 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's football, ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Swinford and put petrol in her diesel Peugeot lease car. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and less concerned. Another job in Oxfordshire done well in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services Our Company Offers:

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do if you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue can be harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

In case you discover youself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical skills and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Swinford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the most common problems which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Swinford - Swinford Fuel Removal

I'd had a wonderful afternoon fishing on my day off and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I was en route to aid a young couple who were holidaying in Swinford. They'd pulled over after putting diesel in their Citroen, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady chastising her man for being so confused. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this occurs continuously in Oxfordshire and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, however he yet still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove away I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
