Boat Fuel Drains
If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in fuel may well result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.
Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Forthampton
I am not overly excited about working weekends, and last week was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids following a tasty roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a man after he put the incorrect fuel in his dad's VW Golf III. He was only in Forthampton therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and did not ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on any harm because of driving it?" I said generally there should not be any harm and that I would remove the contaminated fuel right away for him. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and another happy client could continue on their journey without any bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that can make working on Sundays in Gloucestershire just a little bit easier for me!

It truly was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around sunrise and noone was stirring. It had become quite dead thus far, and Paul and I were sitting about looking at some old magazines. That was a rare peaceful moment in Gloucestershire. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that the moment the phone rang it made me jump! The person on the opposite end stated: "I only just finished my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in the diesel aunt's Nissan Leaf". We got him to tell us where exactly he was situated and we left, arriving in Forthampton no more than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the car and he thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. As we were heading back home we found two young ladies on the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their delight.
