It was around five pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting there talking about the weekend's footy, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Barton and filled petrol in her diesel new BMW Z4 M Roadster rental car by mistake. She was fairly distressed apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Barton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car. They will be able to handle the normal troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL1 Postcode - Barton Misfueling

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an elder woman who put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Mercedes-Benz C-Class in Barton. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched her location into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd just bought it several days back right after my old car, which I used for over twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. Such a pleasant Gloucestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Barton - Wrong Fuel in Car Barton

I'd had a terrific evening golfing on my holiday and felt contented with myself the next day as I set out to aid a new couple on vacation in Barton. They'd conked out after filling petrol in their rugged Seat, and the car was close to an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed while I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for actually being so daft. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this situation takes place everyday in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing at all to stress about, but he yet still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good bye and thought about what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

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.
