It was just after 8 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Southgate and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes lease car. The poor lady was rather distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could get to the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and less concerned. One more fuel drain in Enfield done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Enfield we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Enfield for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Southgate (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Enfield Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car. They will be able to fix any of the standard troubles that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Southgate - Southgate Fuel Drain

I had a great afternoon hiking during my holiday and felt contented with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a young family away in Southgate. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their Volkswagen, and were about an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked while I listened to the woman berating her partner for actually being so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this situation takes place all the time in Enfield and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he still had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same mistake... I would personally never live it down!
