It was just before five pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the recent footy results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Blaenavon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota rental car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car to a secure space and, as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach her without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Torfaen done well in my books!

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Torfaen we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Torfaen for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Blaenavon (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Torfaen Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They can also fix the usual troubles that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
