It was just after seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there talking about the golf results, at the ready for the 8th call that day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Harefield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford rental car. She was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. One more job in Hillingdon done well in my mind!

Tank filled with wrong fuel - Diesel engine filled with petrol fuel is hazardous and should be given consideration right away. Your vehicle will start to show some signs like an unusual amount of smoke in the exhaust. It will cough and splutter too. Not just that, starting the engine back is nearly impossible once you have turned it off.

Engine Contaminated with Water - It is crucial that the tank and the entire system be drained totally. It makes the engine to rev up, jolt or splutter when you accelerate, and can eventually rust your fuel system. It's common on boats, and is typically due to a jerry can used to carry water being used for fuel without first draining it properly. We'll drain it for you, and we might even be able to help with replacement filters.

AdBlue in your tank - Like the incorrect fuel in the wrong place, people tend to add AdBlue to their engine. Most of them misunderstand the purpose of AdBlue. It should go in a special compartment around the engine, and not the engine itself. It minimizes emissions. AdBlue contamination numbers are increasing steadily. If you encounter that problem, let us handle it for you.

Red diesel contamination - Another wrong fuel that ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time is red diesel. It enters your car by your own mistake or of a gas stop worker isn't too experienced in the different types of diesel. If that happens, your car will experience similar symptoms like it would with diesel petrol mix up. It will run low and coughs like a middle-aged lifelong smoker. But don't be anxious. Our team knows how to cope with red diesel contamination.

Trying to drive utilizing old or degraded 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 a long time.
