Our Fields of Specialties:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Oxfordshire we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations rather expediently.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Oxfordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run out of fuel in Moreton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.

They are also able to handle the most common issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
