It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry night, it had not ceased raining! Brian and me were sitting there going over the recent footy rankings, prepared for the 8th call to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Little Hormead and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly.

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.
AdBlue In Diesel
In Hertfordshire we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being aware of how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.
So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very quickly.
Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.
Re-Fueling Service
Out of fuel in Little Hormead (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.

They are also able to deal with any of the normal problems that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
