If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Penarth (petrol in diesel Penarth) we are the individuals you need to call. We cover the entirety of the Penarth vicinity and all bordering areas.

It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the recent sports, waiting around for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Penarth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda lease car by mistake. She was very agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, since it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Another job in Vale of Glamorgan well done in my opinion!

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in case you have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? It is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations rather expediently.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Vale of Glamorgan for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.
