This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Barnet we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations pretty easily.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Barnet to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Highwood Hill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Barnet Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the usual issues that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Highwood Hill - Highwood Hill Wrong Fuel Assist

I appreciated a wonderful day fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the next working day as I set off to assist a new family away in Highwood Hill. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Citroen, and were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I heard to the wife berating her partner for being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this problem comes to pass regularly in Barnet and that it's nothing to be concerned about, even so he all the same got his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Highwood Hill

Reports from our Highwood Hill employees:

Now I am not ever that keen on doing the job Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just departed the family filled with a fantastic roast cooked for us by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a man after he put the incorrect fuel in his MINI. He was located in Highwood Hill so I arrived on scene quickly. As I arrived at the car and got out he said to me "Thank God! I had my attention on stuff and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on any damage simply by driving it?" I determined that truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and that also I would personally drain the fuel at once for him. Obviously I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and then one more pleased client was able to carry on with their trip with no difficulty. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Barnet just that small bit easier to me!

Vehicle Misfuel Highwood Hill - Highwood Hill Fuel Removal

A driver from Highwood Hill with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Renault had put £40 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Highwood Hill - Highwood Hill Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a terrific day fishing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following day as I headed out to aid a new family vacationing in Highwood Hill. They'd conked out after filling diesel into their Skoda, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady chastising her man for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this situation comes to pass on a regular basis in Barnet and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, but he yet still had his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove off I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
