It was after five pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the golf rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Codicote Bottom and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel new-shape VW Fox hire car by mistake. She was very agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the car to a secure position and, as it was only a short distance off from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in case you may have put AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made from a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It tends to be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be injected into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

In case you get in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and I was off to assist an elder sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel faithful Honda Civic in Codicote Bottom. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater road on route to see her godchildren. I punched the location in the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only got it a week back after my old car, which I owned for about twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Hertfordshire lady!

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.

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.
