It was just before eight pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! James and me were sitting there talking about the football, waiting for the seventh job to come in. Before long we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Thame and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things sadly can happen. She was able to move the car into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the motel she was living at.

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases fairly expediently.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Oxfordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Thame (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the normal problems that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Thame - Thame Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a terrific day cycling on my off day and was feeling contented the next working day as I set out to assist a young couple on vacation in Thame. They'd broken down after inserting petrol into their BMW, and the car was roughly an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman telling off her husband for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place regularly in Oxfordshire and that it's truly nothing at all to stress about, even so he still got an ear bashing by his wife. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted good bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I made the same error... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
