It was just before seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were seated there going over the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Crouch End and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat lease car. She was pretty distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could find her quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and less concerned. One more job in Haringey done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Haringey we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Haringey for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Crouch End (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Haringey Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will deal with any of the usual troubles that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
