We're simply a phone call away.

It was after six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the footy rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in High Barnet and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and not so worried. One more fuel drain in Barnet well done in my mind!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Barnet we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists being unsure of how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly never switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In case you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Barnet to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in High Barnet (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Barnet Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will take care of the common troubles that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car High Barnet - High Barnet Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out off a road in High Barnet. His Land Rover motor had stopped working and he'd no clue what was wrong until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been the reason why.
