It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf, prepared for the sixth job to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Pontardawe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. She was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and not so worried. A fuel drain in Swansea well done in my opinion!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Swansea we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course don't switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Swansea to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Pontardawe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Swansea Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They can also handle the most common issues which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Pontardawe - Pontardawe Wrong Fuel

A customer had conked out near a road in Pontardawe. His Volvo motor had stopped working and he had no clue what was awry until he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got absolutely no sleep the day before and that could have been why.
