It was about ten pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were seated going over the tennis results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Stratton and put petrol in her diesel expensive Audi RS4 hire car. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car to a protected position and, as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to find her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. Yet another job in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.
Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Now I am not ever so inclined to doing work on Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had just left home after a lovely dinner made for us by the better half, and I was off to sort out a gentleman who filled the incorrect petrol in his luxury Volvo940. He was only in Stratton so I was with him very quickly. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and didn't perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any problems as a result of driving it?" I revealed there probably should not be any kind of harm and that also I'd personally get the fuel drained at once. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and another delighted customer was able to continue on their ride without fuss. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes earning a living on Sundays in Gloucestershire a tiny bit easier in my opinion!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Stratton - Fuel Rescue Stratton
It truly was what is called the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It was quite quiet up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing perusing some old papers. This was an uncommon peaceful time in Gloucestershire. Actually it was in fact that quiet that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist explained: "I finished my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in the stylish Mazda B2600 by mistake". I instructed him to tell us just where he was located and we left, getting to him in Stratton not as much as an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He said thanks for coming out so fast. As we were coming back to the depot we spotted two ladies on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we stopped to help them change it, much to their delight.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
