It was after five pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's rugby, prepared for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Upper Wardington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was very agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and much less worried. One more job in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Oxfordshire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not knowing the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will often cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Oxfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Upper Wardington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to fix any of the standard issues which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Upper Wardington - Upper Wardington Wrong Fuel Assist

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening hiking on my day off and felt pleased the following day as I was on the way to help a young family holidaying in Upper Wardington. They had stopped after filling diesel in their Audi, and they were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman chastising her man for turning out to be so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass frequently in Oxfordshire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, however he still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove off I mouthed farewell and considered what my wife would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!
