Wrong Fuel in Car Cockfosters, Barnet

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Barnet we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly take care not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases very swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying in the back of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Barnet for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Cockfosters (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Barnet Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the most common issues that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Cockfosters - Cockfosters Petrol in Diesel

I had a terrific afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set off to assist a new couple on holiday in Cockfosters. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Porsche, and they were roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady telling off her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place continuously in Barnet and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, but he yet still had his ear bent. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and considered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I'd never hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Cockfosters

Some of the more typical stories we come across from our engineers in Cockfosters:

Now I am not necessarily that hot for doing the job weekends, and the other day was no different. I had just come away from the family filled with a tasty Sunday roast prepared by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman who had put the wrong petrol in his Suzuki. He was located in Cockfosters so I arrived with him soon. Just as I drove up at the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I had my concentration on other things and failed to grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I created any kind of damage by simply starting it?" I explained there should not be harm and also that I would get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and so one more satisfied motorist could continue on their ride without any hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and this tends to make working on Sundays in Barnet just a small bit better to me!

Petrol in Diesel Cockfosters - Cockfosters Petrol in Diesel

A customer from Cockfosters with her little ones in her diesel Land Rover had put £45 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She contacted us crying and very worried as she had never wrong fuelled and did not know what could happen to her car . We told her that everything would be ok and that she would be back in action quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children on board."
