It was after eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting there talking about the recent football, waiting around for the sixth job of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Essendon and put the wrong fuel in her diesel beautiful Fiat Ulysse rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from our van, we could find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and not so worried. One more fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my mind!

We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

AdBlue In Diesel
In Hertfordshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.
Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?
Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If you have started the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Essendon
I am not very excited about working weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from home after a magnificent lunch prepared by the wife, and I was on my way to help a fellow who had filled the incorrect fuel in his yellow Daewoo Leganza. He was only in Essendon and so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other things and failed to perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted harm by simply driving it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be problems and also that I'd personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and yet another satisfied customer had the ability to continue their trip without any difficulty. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make working on Sundays in Hertfordshire that tiny bit less painful to me!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Essendon - Fuel Rescue Essendon
A woman from Essendon with her youngsters in her diesel black Ford Fiesta had put £40 of petrol at the petrol station. She contacted us weeping and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle would be fine and that she would be back in action in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the little ones in the back."

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.
