It was around seven pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting discussing the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the next job to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Freezywater and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover lease car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could get to the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. A job in Enfield well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Enfield we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And of course take care not to start the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol is likely to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather simply.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Enfield for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Freezywater (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Enfield Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to take care of the normal problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Freezywater - Freezywater Fuel Removal

I'd had a great afternoon fishing on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a young couple holidaying in Freezywater. They'd conked out after inserting petrol in their Renault, and they were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled as I listened to the woman chastising her spouse for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in Enfield and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, however he yet still got an earful. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!
