It was about 6 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Before long we had the call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Clydach and put petrol in a diesel Toyota rental car in error. The poor lady was somewhat affected apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Swansea well done in my books!

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Swansea we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations rather quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Swansea for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Clydach (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Swansea Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill the car. They will take care of any of the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Clydach - Clydach Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman had stopped just off a road in Clydach. His Porsche car had stopped working and he'd no clue what was the problem until eventually he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got zero rest the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
