It was before six pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh call of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Abercanaid and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to find her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Merthyr Tydfil done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Merthyr Tydfil we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Any time you discover youself to be in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Merthyr Tydfil for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Abercanaid (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Merthyr Tydfil Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
