It was close to 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and I were sitting talking over the recent football rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Seven Sisters and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai rental in error. The poor thing was rather irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could reach the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. A job in Neath Port Talbot done well in my mind!

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Neath Port Talbot we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations very expediently.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Neath Port Talbot to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Seven Sisters (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Neath Port Talbot Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.

They will be able to fix any of the standard troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Seven Sisters - Seven Sisters Fuel Removal

I had enjoyed a wonderful day cycling during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I was on the way to assist a new family vacationing in Seven Sisters. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel into their Nissan, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smiled while I heard to the gal telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Neath Port Talbot and that it's really absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he all the same had his ear bent. Unlucky boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
