It was about 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Lightpill and filled petrol in a diesel new-shape Chevrolet Caprice rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and much less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do if you may have poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made from a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

A relatively concerned motorist phoned us from the Esso petrol station at Gloucestershire to advise us that he had put unleaded in his diesel modified Peugeot 2008; he wasn't quite sure how he'd managed to do it. We assured him it was not a problem and before long had our specialist with him to drain the wrong fuel from his tank. Having taken out the incorrect fuel, he was subsequently back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the technician who came out to undertake the fuel drain was genuinely nice - he didn't make me appear like a fool."

And so, if you have filled your petrol vehicle with the wrong fuel, or put petrol in your diesel car just about anywhere in Gloucestershire, speak to us right now. Our competent mechanics are ready and waiting for your call.

I had a terrific afternoon fishing during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I headed out to aid a new family who were on vacation in Lightpill. They had conked out after putting petrol into their stylish Volvo V70, and were around half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for actually being so foolish. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation occurs everyday in Gloucestershire and that it's in reality nothing at all to worry about, even so he yet still got an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. As they drove off I mouthed so long and wondered what my wife would say to me if I made the exact same mistake... I'd never live it down!

This was exactly what we call the night shift. It was about sunrise and almost noone was around. It had been quite uneventful up to now, and me and Paul were relaxing reading several old newspapers. That was an unusual tranquil hour in Gloucestershire. It was indeed that tranquil that the instant the phone ultimately rang I leaped! The customer said: "I have just finished my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel mustard yellow BMW 1 Series in error". I asked him to let us know where the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Lightpill less than an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thanks for getting there so fast. As we were heading back to the depot we spotted two ladies at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled over to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
