Boat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.
Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
