It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Whippendell Bottom and put petrol in a diesel canary yellow Kia Optima lease car by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we could find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in case you have poured AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were on the way to help an elder lovely lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel white BMW 650 in Whippendell Bottom. I had been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a country road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I reached the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing it she said, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only got it several days back after my other car, which I'd used for about thirty years, inevitably died". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. What a pleasant Hertfordshire lady!

So, in the event that you have topped up your petrol automobile with the wrong fuel, or put the wrong fuel in your diesel automobile somewhere in Hertfordshire, speak to us now. Our expert mechanics are available and waiting for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Whippendell Bottom

I am not ever excessively enthusiastic about carrying out work weekends, and last week was the same. I had just come away from home following a fantastic roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was on my way to help a guy after he had put the incorrect petrol in his modified Toyota MR2. He was situated in Whippendell Bottom hence I arrived on scene almost immediately. As I arrived right behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on stuff and didn't realise I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I caused any kind of damage through driving it?" I determined that generally there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I'd remove the fuel as quickly as possible. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and then yet another happy motorist was able to continue their trip without the fuss. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make operating on weekends in Hertfordshire that little less painful for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Whippendell Bottom - Fuel Rescue Whippendell Bottom

A young lady from Whippendell Bottom with her children in her diesel sombre grey Toyota FJ Cruiser had filled her car with £45 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She contacted us weeping and really worried as she had never wrong fueled before and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that all should be okay and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the kids on board."

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.
