It was before six pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting there commenting on the recent tennis, waiting around for the 6th call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Blenheim and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, because it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to reach the woman right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not knowing how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.
