It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were resting there commenting on the recent footy, waiting for the next call to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Ebbw Vale and filled petrol in her diesel Jaguar rental. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could find the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Blaenau Gwent done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Blaenau Gwent we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Blaenau Gwent for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Ebbw Vale (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Blaenau Gwent Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They can also handle any of the common troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ebbw Vale - Ebbw Vale Wrong Fuel

A customer phoned us from his place on a road in Ebbw Vale. He exclaimed, "My car (a Chevrolet) is not running and is making dreadful noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
