It was after ten pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the sixth job to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Bishopston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could get to the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Swansea well done in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Swansea we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely do not crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances rather simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Vehicle Misfuel Bishopston - Bishopston Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a terrific day fishing on the weekend and was feeling delighted the following morning as I was en route to help a young couple who were holidaying in Bishopston. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Skoda, and the car was close to half an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem happens continuously in Swansea and that it's really absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. Unlucky boy. In any case, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
