It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there talking over the recent football rankings, prepared for the 6th job of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Langstone and put petrol in her diesel Suzuki rental in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things happen. She managed to move the car to a protected area and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. Another job in Newport well done in my opinion!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Newport we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Newport to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Langstone (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Newport Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will fix any of the typical troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Langstone - Langstone Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a great day fishing during my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next working day as I was en route to help a young couple who were vacationing in Langstone. They'd conked out after inserting diesel into their MINI, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for actually being so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this takes place continuously in Newport and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything had an earful. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove off I waved good bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
