It was before seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were relaxing going over the football, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Chells and put petrol in a diesel apricot Volkswagen Golf rental car in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Chells (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the normal issues that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Sunday and I was on my way to help an older lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel expensive Volvo S60 in Chells. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a rural road on route to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I turned up at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I am getting quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel as I'd only just got it a few days back after my previous car, which I used for in excess of twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Hertfordshire lady!

I am not necessarily overly hot for doing work on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd just come away from home filled with a wonderful dinner made for us by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his mint condition Audi Q5. He was located in Chells thus it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my attention on other considerations and did not ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about some problems simply by starting it?" I said truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and also that I would drain the fuel immediately. As expected I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and yet another contented motorist had the ability to carry on with his trip without the fuss. The man did not stop thanking me, and this is what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Hertfordshire a little bit easier in my opinion!

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.
