It was just before 9 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were seated there discussing the sports rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Chipping Barnet and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo lease car by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Yet another job in Barnet done well in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:
This is what exactly we do best.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Barnet we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.
Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Should you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases pretty simply.
Remember that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Barnet for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.
Re-Fueling Support
Run out of fuel in Chipping Barnet (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Barnet Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the normal problems that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
