Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases pretty expediently.
Be aware though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Cromhall Common
Now I'm not ever too keen on doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just departed home after having a superb Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a man after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his daughter's Toyota Prius. He was stationed in Cromhall Common therefore I arrived with him quickly. Just as I drove up at the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on other stuff and failed to realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on damage simply by running it?" I revealed that there should not be problems and that I would drain the fuel immediately. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and then another happy motorist could continue his traveling without the fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that can make working on Sundays in Gloucestershire that little less painful in my opinion!

We reassured her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be in action soon. When we got there she was still distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."
