It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were seated discussing the recent footy, ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Creigiau and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Cardiff well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cardiff we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is going to result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Cardiff for the purpose of taking away and disposing of 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 container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Creigiau (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cardiff Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will handle the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
