It was after six pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing discussing the footy results, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Dolgellau and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was just a few miles from the office, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Gwynedd well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Gwynedd we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously do not crank the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel may lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Gwynedd to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Dolgellau (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Gwynedd Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the typical problems which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
