Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout East Sussex we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TN3 Postcode - Blackham Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was off to assist an elder woman who had put petrol in her diesel yellow Audi Allroad in Blackham. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a rural road along the way to see her godchildren. I popped the location in the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I got to the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had just purchased it a few days back when my former car, which I owned for about twenty years, inevitably died". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. What a precious East Sussex woman!

We take care of your motor vehicle with our complete licencing and insurance. Because of around one hundred and fifty years of combined fuel drainage know-how we know exactly how to get the task finished - full stop.

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.
