Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite easily.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

We got there promptly, did the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel.

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.
