It was after eight pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and me were sitting there discussing the recent football rankings, waiting around for the next call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Cuxham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat rental in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the car into a secure position and, as it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. A fuel drain in Oxfordshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is actually damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Oxfordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Cuxham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the usual issues that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
