It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Aberkenfig and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental. She was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Bridgend well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Bridgend we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will often result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases fairly quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Bridgend to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Aberkenfig (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Bridgend Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car. They are also able to handle the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
