Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BS9 Postcode - Eastfield Misfueling

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Tuesday and I was en route to help an old lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Honda Civic in Eastfield. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I reached the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only just bought it a couple of days back after my former car, which I had owned for about twenty years, finally stopped working". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Bristol lady!

• 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.
