Petrol in your diesel car in Llanharry? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this time of need and get you moving again with our expert wrong fuel removal service.

It was just before ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were resting there commenting on the tennis, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Llanharry and put petrol in her diesel Suzuki rental car. She was fairly affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the lady right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Rhondda Cynon Taf done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Rhondda Cynon Taf we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases very quickly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Rhondda Cynon Taf for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.
