AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Barnet we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly don't switch on the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may well lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very simply.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Barnet to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Barnet (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Barnet Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and refill the car. They can also deal with any of the common issues which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Barnet - Barnet Fuel Drain

I'd had a fantastic day fishing during my off day and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I was en route to aid a young family who were holidaying in Barnet. They broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their Fiat, and were about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this problem occurs everyday in Barnet and that it's truly nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. Poor chap. In any case, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove off I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Barnet

Tales from our Barnet technicians:

A young adult who had only recently passed his driving test had misfueled his Land Rover by putting unleaded in the diesel vehicle at the service station near Barnet. He said, "This is the second time I have filled up my car since I got it and I don't know how to handle it." He was afraid because his step father had just recently paid for the car. He found our company on the web and so called it immediately, worried about what he needed to do. Our guy on the telephones advised him that we could be there within forty five minutes and to not touch his car while he waited. We finished the drain on his car and he stated how astonished he was that it was addressed so speedily and without problem .

Fuel Rescue Barnet - Barnet Wrong Fuel in Car

A woman working in Barnet phoned us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fuelled car to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel MG and, like many people prior to her, believed that she could simply top up her car with diesel and it'd be okay. The vehicle was chugging and then it died when she came to the the front of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed within an hour while she was in the office. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really happy you fixed my car."

Vehicle Misfuel Barnet - Barnet Wrong Fuel Doctor

The other day a customer called us soon after his Volvo died along a street in Barnet. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel motor and drove so far as the road before having to give up. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives locally, got to him in about a quarter hour. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."
