It was before seven pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting commenting on the recent rugby results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Kingston Lisle and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen rental in error. She was very irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a short distance from where we were, we could find her fairly quickly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Oxfordshire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you have started the car you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Kingston Lisle (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up the car. They are also able to handle the most common problems which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had got zero sleep the night before and that could have been the reason why.
