It was around ten pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated talking over the weekend's golf results, ready for the next call that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Woolaston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Volvo XC70 rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

Run out of fuel in Woolaston (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service.

Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car. They are also able to deal with any of the most common issues that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

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.
