It was after six pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were resting there going over the rugby results, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Doynton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel baby blue Volvo XC90 rental car in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could reach the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car.

AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Gloucestershire we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.
Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?
Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was around 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It was pretty quiet so far, and Mark and I were loafing perusing a few old articles. That was an uncommon restful hour in Gloucestershire. Actually it was indeed so calm that the instant the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end stated: "I have finished my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel super Austin Mini Cooper in error". We got him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was located and we left, arriving in Doynton not as much as an hour or so later. The fuel was removed from the motor. He thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. As we were returning to the office we spotted two women on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we got out to help them change it, to their elation.
