It was around six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Sneyd Park and filled petrol in a diesel dark green Volvo V40 rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another job in Bristol done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Bristol we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly don't crank the car - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sneyd Park - Wrong Fuel in Car Sneyd Park

A motorist had broken down near a road in Sneyd Park. His daughter's Land Rover Discovery Series II car had ceased working and he had no idea what was the problem till he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got zero rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.

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.
