Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel is going to trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
