It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were resting discussing the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Dolgellau and put petrol in her diesel MINI hire car by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could reach the woman right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. A job in Gwynedd well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Gwynedd we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Gwynedd to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Dolgellau (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Gwynedd Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the normal problems that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A gentleman called us from his house on a street in Dolgellau. He said, "My vehicle (a Ford) is not starting and is making awful noises when I turn the key."
