It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting going over the golf, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Ringshall and filled petrol in a diesel uncle's Smart Forfour lease car. She was fairly affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at her right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and a lot less worried. One more job in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty expediently.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HP4 Postcode - Ringshall Misfueling

Just had a great night's sleep! 7:00 on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to help an older lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Volvo240 in Ringshall. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded in a rural lane on the way to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel since I'd only just purchased it a short while ago because my previous car, which I'd used for in excess of 30 years, eventually died on me". I completed the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Hertfordshire woman!

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.
