It was around five pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting talking over the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the seventh call to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Hockerill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel new-shape BMW 645 rental in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and not so concerned. Yet another job in Hertfordshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
All around Hertfordshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.
Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car?
Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
In the event that you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I had a fantastic day fishing during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new couple vacationing in Hockerill. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their creamy white BMW X6, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady telling her husband off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing takes place constantly in Hertfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved farewell and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

A young adult who had only just passed his driving test had misfueled his uncle's Peugeot 407 by having unleaded in his diesel vehicle at the filling station near Hockerill. He said, "This is only the second occasion I have filled up my car from the time when I purchased it and I have no clue of what to do." He was worried since his step father had just paid for the car. He found our company on the net and so called us without delay, afraid about what he should do.

This really was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and almost noone was about. It was rather uneventful until now, and Brian and I were sitting looking at a couple of old magazines. That was an uncommon restful time in Hertfordshire. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that the instant the phone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the phone stated: "I have only just concluded my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the Ferarri red Lexus LX by mistake". We asked him to let us know where the vehicle was and we hit the road, getting to him in Hockerill only an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he said thanks a lot for getting there so rapidly. As we were going back to the depot we saw two women at the side of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
