It was around 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf, prepared for the sixth call of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Abertridwr and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental car. She was rather distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and not so worried. One more job in Caerphilly well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it if you have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can easily produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases rather simply.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container laying in the back of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Caerphilly for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Abertridwr (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Caerphilly Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill the car. They will be able to take care of any of the common troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Abertridwr - Abertridwr Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a perfect evening cycling on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a new couple who were on vacation in Abertridwr. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Citroen, and were around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I listened to the woman telling her man off for being so foolish. "How could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this happens everyday in Caerphilly and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything had an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good-bye and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
