Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Mill Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Barnet we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And certainly don't crank the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Barnet to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Mill Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Barnet Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the normal issues which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
