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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Barnet we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely take care not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Barnet to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Chipping Barnet (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Barnet Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to fix the normal problems that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
