Our Areas of Competency :

Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Barnet we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely don't start the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Stories from our Barnet Gate team:

Now I am not ever too interested in doing the job on weekends, and last week was the same. I had just left the wife and kids after having a tasty roast cooked for us by the missus, and I was on the way to assist a fellow after he filled the wrong fuel in his Smart. He was stationed in Barnet Gate thus it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up at the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on harm by simply driving it?" I explained that truth be told there should not be any harm and that I'd drain the wrong fuel quickly. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with the correct fuel, and so yet another content motorist could continue their travelling without the need for fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this can make carrying out work on Sundays in Barnet just a little bit less painful in my opinion!
