Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
