Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.
