Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can certainly cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and I was on the way to assist an old lady who put petrol in her diesel bright red Subaru Outback Sport in Smallford. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and broken down along a country lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I'd only just acquired it several days ago after my former one, which I had owned for about twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Hertfordshire woman!

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.
