It was about 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting discussing the footy results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Broom Hill and put petrol in her diesel brother's Cadillac DeVille rental. The poor lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and less anxious. Another job in Bristol well done in my books!

Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.
AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Bristol we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.
Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?
Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good 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 will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.
Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.
Wrong Fuel in Car in BS4 Postcode - Broom Hill Misfueling
What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Sunday and we were en route to assist an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel compact VW Golf III in Broom Hill. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up on a rural road on route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I have been getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had only just acquired it a few days back after my former car, which I used for over twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Bristol lady!

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.
