Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

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.

• 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.
