It was before 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting going over the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Cardiff City and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI rental car. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we could arrive at her right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another job in Cardiff well done in my mind!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Cardiff we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can potentially bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Cardiff to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Cardiff City (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Cardiff Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the standard troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
