Services We Offer:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Barnet we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you have started the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Barnet for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in High Barnet (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Barnet Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to deal with any of the common problems that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel High Barnet - High Barnet Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman rang us from his home on a close in High Barnet. He explained, "My car (a Land Rover) is not starting and is producing awful noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
