Services Our Company Offers:

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Swansea we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Swansea to take care of removing and disposing of 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 tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Pontardawe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Swansea Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They can also handle the normal troubles that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
