It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were resting there talking over the recent footy rankings, waiting for the seventh call to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Cold Harbour and put the wrong fuel in her diesel modern Volvo XC90 lease car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was staying in.

Out of fuel in Cold Harbour (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the standard problems that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.

• 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.
