It was just before 9 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were seated discussing the recent golf, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in East Barnet and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo hire car. The poor lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at.

Our Areas of Expertise:
Below are the top services we provide to our clients.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Barnet we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.
Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course do not start the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations fairly simply.
Remember though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Barnet for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Recent Fuel Drains in East Barnet
Standard incorrect fuel drain testimonies in East Barnet:
I'm not necessarily that keen on carrying out work on Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd only just come away from home filled with a fantastic roast cooked by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman after he filled the wrong petrol in his Ford. He was only in East Barnet and so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other stuff and did not realise I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted some problems by simply starting it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be damage and that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and one more happy motorist was able to continue on their ride without the hassle. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes operating on Sundays in Barnet just that little bit easier for me personally!
Wrong Fuel East Barnet - East Barnet Vehicle Misfuel
A driver who had unfortunately put the wrong fuel in his diesel Mercedes contacted us for help at the Esso petrol filling station in East Barnet. He thought it would be good to top up before continuing on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel which wasn't a great way to start to our holiday break." It was no hassle in any way for our technical engineer to go along and do the fuel drain. We hope they had a good holiday break.
