Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU1 Postcode - Abbotswood Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Sunday and I was on the way to assist an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel metallic green Renault Scenic in Abbotswood. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up in a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was working she said to me, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel because I had just purchased it a few days ago when my previous one, which I'd owned for more than thirty years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Surrey woman!

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
