Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations quite expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU22 Postcode - Cartbridge Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and I was off to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel teal Kia Sephia in Cartbridge. I'd been told she had left the filling station and stranded in a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched into the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she said, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I had only purchased it a short while ago after my previous one, which I'd had for in excess of 30 years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious Surrey 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:

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.
