Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Essex we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CO16 Postcode - Tendring Heath Misfueling

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was off to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel precious Volkswagen Jetta in Tendring Heath. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down along a country lane along the way to visit her family. I plugged her location in the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I had just got it several days ago when my former car, which I had for about 25 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful 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.
