It was just before 8 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Llangollen and put petrol in a diesel Audi hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to find her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Denbighshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Denbighshire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Denbighshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Llangollen (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Denbighshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They can also take care of any of the common problems which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
