It was just after seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting commenting on the recent sports results, ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Burnt Oak and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Barnet done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in case you may have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s made from a blend of high-purity urea and deionized water.It can be harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations quite swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Barnet to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Burnt Oak (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Barnet Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the usual issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
