Wrong Fuel Assist Oakleigh Park - Oakleigh Park Petrol in Diesel

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were en route to assist an older lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda in Oakleigh Park. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up on a country lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only acquired it a couple of days back right after my former car, which I had used for about 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Barnet lady!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Barnet we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not knowing how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank is likely to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Barnet for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Oakleigh Park (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Barnet Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the common issues which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Fuel Removal Oakleigh Park - Oakleigh Park Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman called us from Oakleigh Park to say he foolishly pumped petrol into his diesel Vauxhall. "Shocking! How could I put petrol in my diesel car!" It only took the engineer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He carefully purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean diesel in the car. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him car dealership prices to have the job professionally completed.


Recent Fuel Drains in Oakleigh Park

Some of the more routine things we come across from many of our employees in Oakleigh Park:

We not too long ago got a phone call from a man who had put the wrong fuel in his Toyota in Oakleigh Park. He had conked out on the road. "I was pleased at how speedy you were in having a fuel drainer out to aid me when I erroneously filled my diesel car with petrol. Thank you so much". Of course we appeared punctually and purged the engine after flushing the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived our fuel drainer said the customer was raging, but was pretty happy afterwards.

Vehicle Misfuel Oakleigh Park - Oakleigh Park Petrol in Diesel

A woman from Oakleigh Park with her little ones in her diesel Mercedes had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that all should be okay and that she would be back in action in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the kids on board."

Wrong Fuel Drain Oakleigh Park - Oakleigh Park Wrong Fuel Doctor

A couple weeks ago a gentleman telephoned us when his Mercedes ground to a halt on a street in Oakleigh Park. He had inadvertently put unleaded in his diesel motor and drove so far as the street before needing to halt. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives not far away, got to him in less than ten minutes. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back into the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
