It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were seated talking about the footy results, prepared for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Radyr and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could arrive at the woman right away. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and much less worried.

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cardiff we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the practical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Cardiff to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Radyr (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Cardiff Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They are also able to deal with the standard issues which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
