If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Woodstock (incorrect fuel Woodstock) we are the professionals you need to speak to. We cover the entirety of the Woodstock area and all adjoining counties.

It was around six pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and me were sitting talking about the weekend's football results, waiting for the seventh job that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Woodstock and filled petrol in her diesel Fiat rental in error. She was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Oxfordshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly never start the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Oxfordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced 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 container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Woodstock (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the standard problems which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Woodstock - Woodstock Wrong Fuel

A gentleman had conked out just near a street in Woodstock. His Volvo motor had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was faulty till he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the day before and that must have been the reason why.
