Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Should you end up in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical competence and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SS0 Postcode - Chalkwell Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and I was off to help an old lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel mom's Mitsubishi 3000GT in Chalkwell. I had been advised she had left the filling station and pulled up on a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I had just bought it a couple of days back after my previous car, which I owned for over twenty five years, inevitably died". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Essex lady!

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.
