Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances very easily.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in KT13 Postcode - Weybridge Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was on the way to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel well worn Seat Alhumbra in Weybridge. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down on a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I got to the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was working she said, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel since I had only bought it several days ago right after my other car, which I'd owned for about 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. 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.
