Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Torfaen we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Torfaen for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Pontypool (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Torfaen Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They can also handle any of the typical problems that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
