Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases quite quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RG26 Postcode - Hannington Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and we were on my way to help an older lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel shiny Lexus IS in Hannington. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and pulled up on a rural road on route to visit her godchildren. I popped the location in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had just purchased it a couple of days ago after my old one, which I had had for over thirty years, finally broke down". I got the job done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Hampshire woman!

I had a fantastic evening fishing on the weekend and felt cheerful the following morning as I headed out to help a new family who were vacationing in Hannington. They'd conked out after inserting petrol in their mate's Honda Accord, and were around half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I listened to the woman telling off her spouse for being so confused. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing takes place regularly in Hampshire and that it is nothing to fret about, nonetheless he yet still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyways, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
