Wrong Fuel in Car Idstone, Oxfordshire
Wrong Fuel Drain Idstone - Idstone Wrong Fuel Doctor
Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Sunday and I was off to help an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Nissan in Idstone. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I got to the car and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel since I had just purchased it several days back after my previous car, which I'd used for about 30 years, inevitably died". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. What a lovely Oxfordshire woman!

It was about eight pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting going over the recent sports results, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Idstone and put petrol in her diesel Kia rental car. The poor lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and less worried. One more fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Oxfordshire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not understanding the way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.
So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
Should you end up in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the technical skills and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.
Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
Waste Fuel Removal
Got an old fuel container at the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

They are also able to fix any of the standard troubles that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
Wrong Fuel in Car Idstone - Idstone Wrong Fuel Doctor
I had enjoyed a fantastic evening golfing during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set off to aid a new couple vacationing in Idstone. They conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Fiat, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked as I listened to the wife telling off her partner for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Oxfordshire and that it's nothing to worry about, even so he yet still had an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and considered what my wife would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Idstone
Tales from our Idstone employees:
We a few weeks ago had a phone call about a businessman who put the incorrect fuel in his Hyundai in Idstone. He had conked out on the road. "I couldn't believe how quick you people were in sending an engineer out to assist me when I erroneously petrol in my diesel. Thank you so much". It goes without saying that we were on-scene promptly and flushed the engine after flushing all the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival our fuel drainer said the motorist was scowling, but was pleased afterwards.
Wrong Fuel Drain Idstone - Idstone Fuel Rescue
A lady from Idstone with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Kia had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She phoned us crying and extremely upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what could happen to her vehicle . We assured her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was still upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."
Wrong Fuel in Car Idstone - Idstone Fuel Drain
A customer rang us from his house on a street in Idstone. He said, "My car (a Skoda) is not starting up and is generating awful sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
