It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were resting talking about the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Sandford-on-Thames and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia lease car. She was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and less worried. One more fuel drain in Oxfordshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can fix any associated problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in case you may have put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s made from a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water.It tends to be harmful to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel can potentially lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
