It was after ten pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were seated discussing the recent football, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Cuffley and put petrol in a diesel husband's Peugeot 508 rental car. The unfortunate thing was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected space and, because it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not understanding how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

In the event that you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised competence and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in EN6 Postcode - Cuffley Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an older woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel daughter's Nissan 350Z Roadster in Cuffley. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a country road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was working she told me, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel since I had just got it a couple of days back when my former car, which I had for about thirty years, eventually died on me". I finished the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. 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.
