It was after 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were seated talking over the weekend's footy, waiting around for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Rhymney and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental car by mistake. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could find her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Caerphilly well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Caerphilly we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Caerphilly to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.
