Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Surrey we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not understanding the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

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.
