It was about ten pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's rugby results, ready for the sixth telephone call to arrive. In due time we had the call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Aberdare and filled petrol in a diesel Toyota rental. She was very troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Rhondda Cynon Taf done well in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Rhondda Cynon Taf we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely never crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite expediently.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Rhondda Cynon Taf to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Aberdare (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Rhondda Cynon Taf Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to handle the most common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Aberdare - Aberdare Petrol in Diesel

Last monday a man phoned us because his Peugeot ground to a halt in the middle of a road in Aberdare.

It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who resides close by, arrived with him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your prompt response, especially at 3 a.m., I am grateful for it."
