A guy broken down on a street in Thunders Hill needed a fuel drain about a few weeks ago. His metallic grey Honda Prelude was stuck on the side of the road after he had put in the wrong fuel.

Marine Fuel Drains
If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite expediently.
Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Thunders Hill - Fuel Rescue Thunders Hill
It truly was what is called the night shift. It was close to 3am and noone was around. It was pretty uneventful thus far, and John and I were sitting looking through some old papers. That was an unusual quiet time in East Sussex. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that the moment the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The motorist told me: "I've finished my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel wife's Mitsubishi L300 by mistake". We told him to tell us where exactly he was and we set off, getting to him in Thunders Hill an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He thanked us for coming out so rapidly. While we were heading back to the depot we spotted two ladies on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. As a result we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.
