It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and me were seated talking over the rugby results, prepared for the seventh job that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Pontypool and put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall rental. The unfortunate thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and less anxious. One more job in Torfaen well done in my books!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Torfaen we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Torfaen to take care of removing and disposing of 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 tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Pontypool (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Torfaen Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to deal with the typical issues which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Pontypool - Pontypool Petrol in Diesel

A man had conked out just off a street in Pontypool. His Suzuki motor had ceased working and he had no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
