It was about six pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were resting commenting on the recent football, prepared for the sixth job that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Cwmbach and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and less anxious. Another job in Rhondda Cynon Taf well done in my mind!

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Rhondda Cynon Taf we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely don't start up the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you would likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Rhondda Cynon Taf for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Cwmbach (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Rhondda Cynon Taf Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your automobile. They can also deal with the standard issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Cwmbach - Cwmbach Petrol in Diesel

A customer called us from his place on a street in Cwmbach. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a SEAT) is not starting and is producing dreadful sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
