It was after 5 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting commenting on the golf, ready for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Taffs Well and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Rhondda Cynon Taf done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Rhondda Cynon Taf we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not knowing how to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the car you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly simply.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Rhondda Cynon Taf for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Taffs Well (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Rhondda Cynon Taf Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill the car. They can also deal with any of the most common problems that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
