We're only a call away.

It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting talking about the golf rankings, prepared for the next call to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Llanharry and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental. She was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Rhondda Cynon Taf done well in my mind!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Rhondda Cynon Taf we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Rhondda Cynon Taf for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Llanharry (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Rhondda Cynon Taf Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They will be able to fix the common issues which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Llanharry - Llanharry Fuel Rescue

I had a terrific day golfing during my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I headed out to help a new couple away in Llanharry. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their Peugeot, and they were around half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady telling her husband off for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Rhondda Cynon Taf and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my missus would say to me if I made the same error... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
