It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were seated there going over the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the 6th job to come in. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Old Knebworth and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet lease car. She was very distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

Tank filled with incorrect fuel - Diesel engine filled with petrol fuel is hazardous and should be given attention right away. Your vehicle will begin to show some signs such as an unusual amount of smoke in the exhaust. It will cough and splutter too. Not just that, starting the engine back is almost impossible once you've turned it off.

Water unintentionally added in the tank - If your tank is contaminated with water, it is crucial that water has to be flushed out. Otherwise, your engine may start to rev up, splutter or jolt once you push the accelerator. This doesn't include your engine starting to build rust. An incident such as this does not happen to boats only; this can happen to your vehicle too. It must be drained out of the fuel system. Luckily we're professionals on this kind of work.

Adding AdBlue to your fuel tank - AdBlue contamination happens when you put AdBlue in your fuel tank, typically by accident. This usually happens because car owners lack knowledge about AdBlue. AdBlue is not a fuel additive, it's a liquid that reduces dangerous emissions from the exhaust, and it is designed to go in a special tank reserved for the purpose. Many people have been victims of this false belief and we have resolved them easily.

Red Diesel in the Tank - Accidentally filling the tank is the most usual cause of this. It can easily happen if you are distracted or tired, from a filling pump or jerry can, and it's no surprise when the AA says as many as 1500 UK garages sell red diesel. If it happens to you, we'll handle it quickly and efficiently.

Trying to drive utilizing old fuel - Fuel degrades with time, something that is common when the car has been sitting, not driven, for some time, or the fuel has been stored for some time. The engine may start and run but there will be problems you'll notice. Old fuel should be drained out, and it's a service we provide.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Old Knebworth - Old Knebworth Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a wonderful day cycling during the weekend and felt cheerful the next morning as I was en route to assist a new family holidaying in Old Knebworth. They pulled over after adding petrol in their Dacia, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this occurs on a regular basis in Hertfordshire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, and yet he all the same had an earful. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved goodbye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
