It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were sitting there going over the recent sports results, ready for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Southmead and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel customised Vauxhall rental car. She was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Bristol done well in my opinion!

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Southmead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Bristol Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill the car. They will be able to handle any of the most common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
3. 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.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
