Boat Fuel Drains
If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations pretty easily.
Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.
