It was close to 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were seated there going over the recent sports results, waiting for the 6th call that day to come in. Finally we received the call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Westbury Park and put petrol in her diesel green Isuzu Ascender rental in error. The poor lady was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a protected position and, since it was only a short distance away from the office, we could reach the lady quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Bristol done well in my opinion!

We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Bristol we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
