Petrol in your diesel car in Woodhall? You've arrived at the correct place. We are here to help you in this hour of need and get you driving again with our dedicated fuel removal services.

It was close to five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the golf results, waiting for the seventh call for the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Woodhall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel rugged Mazda RX-7 hire car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to find her right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!

Run out of fuel in Woodhall (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car. They will handle the usual troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hertfordshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly do not crank the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

If you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical skills and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
