It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and me were relaxing going over the golf rankings, waiting for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Pontyberem and put petrol in a diesel Lexus rental car. The unfortunate lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Carmarthenshire well done in my opinion!

Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Carmarthenshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank may produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Carmarthenshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Pontyberem (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Carmarthenshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They will be able to take care of the usual issues that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Pontyberem - Pontyberem Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a terrific afternoon fishing on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I was on the way to assist a new couple away in Pontyberem. They had broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Carmarthenshire and that it's truly nothing at all to get worried about, but he all the same got his ear bent. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my wife would say to me if ever I made the very same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
