It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting there talking about the recent tennis results, ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in St Pauls Walden and put the wrong fuel in a diesel super Kia Rio5 lease car in error. The poor thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather quickly.
You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car St Pauls Walden
A teenager who had only just passed his driving test had wrong fueled his daughter's Ford Focus ST by putting unleaded in his diesel car at the petrol station in St Pauls Walden. He said, "This is the second time I have put fuel in my vehicle since I got it and I have no clue of how to proceed." He was also afraid because his father had just recently purchased him the car. He came across our company on the internet and so called us instantly, scared about what he should do. Our guy on the telephones explained to him that we would be with him in forty-five minutes and to not start his vehicle while he waited. We carried out the fuel drain on his vehicle and he said how astonished he was that it was addressed so rapidly and no complication .

This really was the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2:30am and nobody was around. It had become pretty quiet so far, and me and Mark were sitting about looking through a number of old papers. It was an unusual calm time in Hertfordshire. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that the moment the telephone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the other end stated: "I have just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my metallic blue Saab 9-4X in error". We asked him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was and we hit the road, arriving in St Pauls Walden not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He thanked us for coming so quickly. As we were going back to the office we spotted two young ladies on the edge of the street who seemed like they had a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
