Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly take care not to crank the car - not even to move it from the pump. If you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL2 Postcode - Longney Misfueling

What a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Tuesday and I was off to help an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel light green Jeep Commander in Longney. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched the location in the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel since I had only just got it a week back when my old one, which I'd had for over twenty five years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Gloucestershire lady!

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.
