Boat Fuel Drains

We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Buckinghamshire we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
