Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had become fairly uneventful up to now, and Paul and I were loafing about looking at several old papers. It was a rare restful hour in Buckinghamshire. Actually it was so tranquil that the moment the phone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist said: "I just finished my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey Volvo V90 by mistake". We instructed him to inform us just where he was situated and we left, ending up in East Burnham an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the engine and he said many thanks for arriving so quickly. As we were coming back to the office we found two young ladies at the edge of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
