It was about ten pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent footy, prepared for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Hope and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat rental. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Wrexham done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Wrexham we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not being aware of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely don't start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Wrexham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hope (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Wrexham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will be able to fix any of the most common troubles that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Hope - Hope Wrong Fuel Drain

A person phoned us from his residence on a close in Hope. He said, "My car (a Land Rover) is not running and is creating awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
