It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were resting going over the sports, waiting for the 8th job that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Pwllheli and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar lease car by mistake. She was rather irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was living at.

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gwynedd we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not knowing how to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical skills and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will likely produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
