Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will often lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances very quickly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lem Hill - Wrong Fuel in Car Lem Hill

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon hiking during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Lem Hill. They'd broken down after inserting diesel into their sombre grey Skoda Octavia, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady chastising her man for being so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass continuously in Worcestershire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove away I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

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.
