It was after 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Woodcote and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia hire car. She was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Oxfordshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can potentially result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Oxfordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Woodcote (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car or truck.
