It was just after 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were resting talking over the weekend's football, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Harpsden Bottom and put petrol in her diesel MINI rental car. The unfortunate lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In Oxfordshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Oxfordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Harpsden Bottom (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the normal problems which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Harpsden Bottom - Harpsden Bottom Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a new family who were away in Harpsden Bottom. They conked out after inserting petrol into their Chevrolet, and the car was approximately an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this takes place frequently in Oxfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unlucky boy. In any case, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would ask me if I made the very same blunder... I'd never hear the end of it!
