It was before 7 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting talking over the weekend's sports rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Netherton and filled petrol in her diesel Skoda rental. She was very agitated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and not so anxious. One more job in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not knowing how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Oxfordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Netherton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the normal troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
