It was just before 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there discussing the recent sports rankings, waiting for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Neyland and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to get the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and much less concerned. A job in Pembrokeshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Pembrokeshire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not knowing how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely never turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Pembrokeshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Neyland (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Pembrokeshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will fix the typical troubles which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
