It was about seven pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Ponders End and filled petrol in her diesel Porsche lease car. She was somewhat affected apparently, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, since it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Enfield well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Enfield we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Enfield to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Ponders End (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Enfield Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car. They are also able to handle the common issues that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Ponders End - Ponders End Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a fantastic evening hiking on my off day and was feeling pleased the next day as I set off to assist a young couple who were away in Ponders End. They'd stopped after putting diesel into their Toyota, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for actually being so silly. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Enfield and that it is nothing to be anxious about, but he yet still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I mouthed goodbye and considered what my wife would ask me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!
