Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may well lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged 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:

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.
