It was around eight pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Hemel Hempstead and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Honda hire car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and not so worried. A misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hertfordshire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HP2 Postcode - Hemel Hempstead Misfueling

Just had a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were on my way to help an old sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel green Saab 9000 in Hemel Hempstead. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater lane en route to see her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a short while back right after my other car, which I owned for about twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Hertfordshire lady!

A gentleman had broken down off a street in Hemel Hempstead. His baby blue BMW 330 car had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was awry until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle.

He claimed that he had got zero sleep the day before and that must have been precisely why.

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.
