It was after 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's footy, prepared for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Port Talbot and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain in Neath Port Talbot well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated issues.
AdBlue Contamination
In Neath Port Talbot we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.
Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather expediently.
Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Fuel Rescue Port Talbot - Port Talbot Vehicle Misfuel
This was the graveyard shift. It was about 3:30 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It had been quite uneventful up to now, and John and I were sitting around reading a few old articles. It was an unusual peaceful moment in Neath Port Talbot. It was so tranquil that when my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end told me: "I have only just finished my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in a diesel Smart by mistake". I instructed him to tell us exactly where he was located and we set off, getting to him in Port Talbot no more than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He said thanks for getting there so promptly. As we were returning home we spotted two young women on the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their delight.
