It was just after 9 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing discussing the recent golf, ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Tredegar and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, also that these things happen. She managed to move the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was residing at.

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Blaenau Gwent we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this situation don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel will often bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases fairly simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains
