Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wymondham - Wrong Fuel in Car Wymondham

I had enjoyed a great evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set out to help a new family who were away in Wymondham. They broken down after inserting diesel into their well worn Honda CR-Z, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed as I listened to the gal berating her husband for being so foolish. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs quite frequently in Leicestershire and that it is nothing at all to worry about, however he still got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. In any case, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

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:

    • 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.
