It was just after seven pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Cropwell Butler and put petrol in a diesel precious Lexus LS lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Nottinghamshire done well in my opinion!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.
