It was just before five pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there going over the recent footy, ready for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Upton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes hire car in error. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Oxfordshire we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you end up in this scenario don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical competence and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Upton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the most common problems that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Upton - Upton Wrong Fuel Drain

Last monday a motorist phoned us after his Porsche cut out on a road in Upton. He had accidentally put unleaded in his diesel car and managed to drive to the street before being forced to pull up. It was yet in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who stays nearby, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 1 a.m., I appreciate it."
