These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In Your Diesel
All around Barnet we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And of course don't start up the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.
You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Barnet to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.
Out of Fuel Support
Run out of fuel in Friern Barnet (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Barnet Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the normal problems that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
