Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly easily.
Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.
