It was just after five pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking about the weekend's football, prepared for the sixth call that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Flint and put petrol in a diesel Mazda lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, because it was just a few miles from us, we could reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and less concerned.

Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Flintshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely do not start the motor - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations rather expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Flintshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Flint (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Flintshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car. They will fix any of the common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Flint - Flint Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a customer phoned us after his Volkswagen broke down on a road in Flint. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and drove as far as the road before being forced to pull over. It was still early in the morning and our engineer, who stays close by, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 2 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
