Boat Fuel Drains

Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations very swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly 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.

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.
