It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's football results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Pwllheli and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car in error. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Gwynedd well done in my books!

Provided Services:

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do if you have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is composed of a mix of high-purity deionized water (67.5%) and urea.It tends to be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank may lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases rather simply.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Gwynedd to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.
