It was about ten pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there discussing the golf, prepared for the 8th call to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Batchworth Heath and filled petrol in a diesel khaki green Volvo S60 hire car in error. The poor lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we could reach her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and much less worried.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hertfordshire we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Any time you end up in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical skills and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Batchworth Heath - Wrong Fuel in Car Batchworth Heath

I'd had a fantastic afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I set out to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Batchworth Heath. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their brand new Toyota Prius, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smiled as I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for actually being so silly. "How could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this problem happens on daily basis in Hertfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he yet still got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. In any case, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove down the road I waved farewell and thought about what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

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.
