It was just after ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated there talking over the football rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Grahame Park and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and not so anxious.

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Barnet we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not understanding how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the technical expertise and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can certainly bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations very easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container in the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Barnet to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Grahame Park (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Barnet Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the common issues that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Grahame Park - Grahame Park Wrong Fuel Assist

I had enjoyed a great day fishing during my off day and was feeling pleased the following working day as I set off to assist a new family on holiday in Grahame Park. They stopped after filling petrol in their Honda, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked while I heard to the woman chastising her hubby for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass constantly in Barnet and that it's in reality nothing to be anxious about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
