Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Powys we have noticed an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Powys to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Presteigne (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Powys Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car. They are also able to take care of any of the most common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
