It was close to ten pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the seventh call for the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Llantwit Fardre and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and much less worried. A job in Rhondda Cynon Taf done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Rhondda Cynon Taf we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will often cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly easily.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Fuel Rescue Llantwit Fardre - Llantwit Fardre Vehicle Misfuel

I had a wonderful evening cycling on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next day as I set off to aid a young family who were on vacation in Llantwit Fardre. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their Hyundai, and the car was around an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I heard to the wife telling off her hubby for being so confused. "How could you possibly manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this goes on everyday in Rhondda Cynon Taf and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and thought about what my missus would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
