It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were sitting going over the recent golf, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Llanberis and put petrol in a diesel Smart lease car by mistake. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, as it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Gwynedd done well in my opinion!

Services We Give:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Gwynedd we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly do not crank the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases fairly simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Gwynedd for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Llanberis (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Gwynedd Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of the normal troubles which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Llanberis - Llanberis Wrong Fuel Assist

A guy had conked out just near a street in Llanberis. His Ford engine had stopped running and he'd no clue what was wrong right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no rest the day before and that must have been precisely why.
