It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent sports results, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Clanfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche rental. She was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Oxfordshire we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely never start up the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Oxfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Clanfield (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with the usual issues which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Clanfield - Clanfield Fuel Rescue

I had a fantastic evening golfing on my off day and felt pleased the next working day as I was en route to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Clanfield. They'd stopped after adding petrol into their Renault, and were around an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled as I heard to the gal chastising her spouse for being so stupid. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on all the time in Oxfordshire and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he still got an earful by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
