It was about eight pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's golf, ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Bulstrode and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mint condition Toyota Land Cruiser hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was only a few miles away from our van, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Hertfordshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Hertfordshire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?
Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.
Contact us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bulstrode
I'm certainly not so enthusiastic about working on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just departed home after having a magnificent roast prepared by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow who put the wrong fuel in his khaki green Vauxhall Vivaro. He was situated in Bulstrode hence I was with him almost immediately. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I created some problems through driving it?" I stated that generally there shouldn't be any harm and that also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and another satisfied customer had the ability to carry on with their journey without the need for fuss. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what can make operating on Sundays in Hertfordshire just that tiny bit easier for me personally!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Bulstrode - Fuel Rescue Bulstrode
A driver from Bulstrode with a full car of little ones in her diesel precious Subaru Outback Sport had put £20 of petrol at the BP station. She phoned us weeping and very upset as she had never wrong fueled before and did not know what would happen to her car . We told her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the children in the back."

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.

- 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.
