It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting for the 6th call that day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Stoneferry and put petrol in a diesel cyan Jaguar XK hire car in error. She was very irritated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from our van, we could reach the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in East Riding of Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases very simply.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
