It was after ten pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Binfield Heath and filled petrol in a diesel Mercedes lease car in error. She was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was only a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Oxfordshire well done in my mind!

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Oxfordshire we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Binfield Heath (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They will handle the usual issues that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Binfield Heath - Binfield Heath Petrol in Diesel

A man phoned us from Binfield Heath to say he had mistakenly piped unleaded in to his diesel Renault. "What a nightmare! I can't believe I put unleaded in my beautiful diesel car!" It took the specialist roughly fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. He meticulously cleaned the fuel system and after that put clean diesel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him dealer prices to get the work properly done.
