These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to people not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases quite simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Oxfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Greenend (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to handle the normal problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Greenend - Greenend Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a driver telephoned us when his Toyota cut out along a street in Greenend. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and managed to get as far as the road before having to give up. It was yet early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides nearby, reached him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, especially at 5 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
