Services We Deliver:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Oxfordshire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly do not switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will likely cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank at the back of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Oxfordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Faringdon (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will be able to fix the common troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
