Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Barnet we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Barnet to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Edgware (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Barnet Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the most common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Customary wrong fuel drain tales in Edgware:

We did a wrong fuel retrieval exercise on the drive of a spectacular property in Edgware a few weeks ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to very nearly arrive at home when my car stopped." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and completed a standard fuel drain and purge on the Volvo to everyone's satisfaction.

Wrong Fuel Drain Edgware - Edgware Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman phoned us from his Mercedes after he had broken down on the bustling road. "I mistakenly put petrol in my diesel car and I ultimately discovered all about it a number of miles along the road!" Fortuitously we were in a position to attend him in a relatively short time, taking into consideration the congestion, and he was shortly back on his way.

Fuel Rescue Edgware - Edgware Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon golfing on my day off and felt pleased the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Edgware. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their Dacia, and were about half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smiled as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in Barnet and that it is nothing to get worried about, but he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I drained out all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I waved farewell and considered what my wife would say to me if I made the exact same error... I'd never live it down!
