It was around six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! James and me were resting there talking over the tennis results, at the ready for the seventh call to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Rhayader and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental. She was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Powys done well in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in case you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? It is actually damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And of course never crank the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Powys for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Rhayader (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Powys Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the most common issues that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Rhayader - Rhayader Wrong Fuel Drain

A man rang us from his home on a street in Rhayader. He explained, "My vehicle (a Dacia) is not starting up and is producing dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
