It was around 5 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated going over the recent football rankings, waiting for the 6th call for the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Appleford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental car. She was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the woman right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in the event that you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue can be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly don't turn over the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Oxfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Appleford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will handle the typical problems which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
