Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

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.

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.
