It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated there talking over the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Cardiff City and put petrol in a diesel Fiat lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was just a short distance from us, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and less stressed.

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a blend of high-purity urea and ionized water.It is certainly devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously take care not to start the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Cardiff for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Cardiff City (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cardiff Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They are also able to handle the typical problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
