Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LE67 Postcode - Griffydam Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to assist an older lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel winter grey BMW 745 in Griffydam. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and broken down along a rural road on route to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only just bought it several days ago because my former car, which I had for about thirty years, finally died on me". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. What a lovely Leicestershire lady!

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.
