It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting talking over the recent football rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Barmouth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected space and, because it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly.

Services We Give:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Gwynedd we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Gwynedd to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Barmouth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Gwynedd Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the standard troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Barmouth - Barmouth Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a great evening golfing on my off day and was feeling cheerful the next day as I headed out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Barmouth. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their Honda, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Gwynedd and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, and yet he yet still got an earful. Poor lad. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
