Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE5 Postcode - Castor Misfueling

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was en route to assist an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Dodge Avenger in Castor. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was stranded in a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I arrived at the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she told me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only bought it a week ago when my previous one, which I had had for in excess of 25 years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a delightful Cambridgeshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Castor - Wrong Fuel in Car Castor

I'd had a wonderful evening fishing on my holiday and was feeling delighted the next working day as I set out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Castor. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel in their friend's Volkswagen Beetle, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and laughed while I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this situation comes to pass continuously in Cambridgeshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to stress about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I drained out all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
