Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your fuel will often lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.
Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Steventon - Fuel Rescue Steventon
It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly sunrise and noone was stirring. It had become fairly dead thus far, and Mark and I were loafing perusing a number of old magazines. It was a rare peaceful moment in Hampshire. It was indeed so quiet that the instant the telephone rang it made me jump! The person on the other end explained: "I have only just ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in my dad's Fiat in error". We instructed him to let us know exactly where the car was and we left, reaching him in Steventon no more than an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. As we were returning home we noticed two young women at the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to help them change it, much to their delight.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
