It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry night, it had not ceased pouring! Mark and I were seated going over the rugby, waiting around for the 6th call that day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Hatch and filled petrol in her diesel baby blue Audi Allroad rental. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another job in Bedfordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in case you have poured AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid composed of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SG19 Postcode - Hatch Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Saturday and I was on the way to help an older woman who put petrol in her diesel bright white Honda CR-Z in Hatch. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station and stranded along a rural road along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel since I'd only just got it a week ago after my previous car, which I had owned for about 30 years, inevitably died on me". I completed the job and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Bedfordshire lady!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
