We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Barnet we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely never switch on the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will often bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases fairly simply.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Barnet to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hadley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Barnet Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the typical problems that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hadley - Hadley Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon golfing on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new family who were holidaying in Hadley. They had pulled over after putting diesel into their Honda, and were about half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so confused. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this problem takes place everyday in Barnet and that it's truly nothing to get worried about, however he in spite of everything got an earful. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved good bye and wondered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
