Our Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Oxfordshire we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases quite simply.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Radcot (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car. They will take care of any of the standard issues which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
