Fuel Drain Pentyrch - Pentyrch Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer had broken down near a street in Pentyrch. His Vauxhall car had ceased operating and he had no clue what was the problem till he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle."

Our Areas of Expertise :

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cardiff we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely never crank the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Cardiff to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel Pentyrch - Pentyrch Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a great afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling contented the next morning as I set off to assist a new couple who were on vacation in Pentyrch. They pulled over after filling diesel into their SEAT, and were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed as I heard to the girl telling off her spouse for being so daft. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this situation happens continuously in Cardiff and that it's nothing to fret about, even so he yet still got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I waved good-bye and considered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!

"I put unleaded instead of diesel which unfortunately wasn't a smart start to our vacation." It was certainly no challenge in any way for our fuel drainer to go and do the fuel drain.
