In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
Throughout Hertfordshire we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.
Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?
Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Contact us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Wrong Fuel in Car in SG11 Postcode - Haultwick Misfueling
Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! 7:30 on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and I was on my way to help an old lovely lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel deep grey Chevrolet Colorado in Haultwick. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a country lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged her location in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she said to me, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only purchased it a couple of days ago after my other car, which I had had for in excess of twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Hertfordshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Haultwick
A young adult who had only just got his licence had wrong fueled his mom's Land Rover by getting unleaded in his diesel at the petrol station in Haultwick. He said, "This is only the second occasion I have fueled my vehicle from the time when I paid for it and I do not know how to handle it." He was worried since his father had only just paid for the car. He discovered us on the net and so called it immediately, frightened about what he should do. Our person on the call informed him that we would be on scene in forty five minutes and to not touch his car while he waited. We performed the fuel drain on his vehicle and he said how astonished he was it was dealt with so swiftly and without problem whatsoever.

This really was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 3:30 in the morning and noone was around. It had become fairly quiet thus far, and John and I were loafing around looking at a number of old newspapers. That was a rare restful moment in Hertfordshire. Actually it was so peaceful that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist on the other end stated: "I've only just concluded my night shift and foolishly put petrol in the diesel trusty Isuzu Impulse". We told him to tell us exactly where he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Haultwick less than an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He thanked us for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back to base we found two women on the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
