It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were relaxing discussing the football results, at the ready for the sixth telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Flint and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car in error. The poor thing was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, since it was only a few miles from our van, we could arrive at her without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Flintshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Flintshire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may well cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Flintshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Flint (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Flintshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the usual troubles that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Flint - Flint Vehicle Misfuel

A person rang us from his home on a street in Flint. He said, "My vehicle (a Porsche) is not running and is creating terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would remedy the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He said he would be certain to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
