The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather swiftly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.
