This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Oxfordshire we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Oxfordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Great Milton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the typical issues which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Great Milton - Great Milton Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a wonderful day hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the following day as I set out to assist a young family who were vacationing in Great Milton. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their Citroen, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs frequently in Oxfordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he all the same got an earful. Poor boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
