Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances pretty expediently.
You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Wrong Fuel in Car in HP1 Postcode - Boxmoor Misfueling
Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Wednesday and we were en route to assist an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel apricot Cadillac Escalade ESV in Boxmoor. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down in a rural lane on the way to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she said to me, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I had just bought it several days ago because my previous one, which I had for about thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Hertfordshire woman!

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.
