To tell the truth, we are the contractor for you!

It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there discussing the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th job that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Boxbush and filled petrol in her diesel old BMW 750 rental car. The poor thing was very distressed it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do if you may have put AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution made out of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL17 Postcode - Boxbush Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Tuesday and we were on the way to help an elder woman after she put petrol in her diesel husband's BMW 6 Series in Boxbush. I had been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a country road on the way to see her family. I plugged the location in the Satnav and arrived within 60 minutes. I got to the location and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd just acquired it several days back because my former car, which I owned for over thirty years, eventually broke down". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a precious Gloucestershire lady!

Now I am not ever so interested in carrying out work on weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just departed the family filled with a tasty lunch prepared for us by the better half, and I was off to assist a gentleman after he put the incorrect fuel in his apricot Volvo740. He was located in Boxbush thus it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise God! I had my concentration on something else and didn't realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about some harm as a result of starting it?" I revealed generally there should not be problems and also I would get the wrong fuel drained right away for him. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and yet another contented customer was able to continue on his traveling without any subsequent difficulty. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what helps make operating on Sundays in Gloucestershire a tiny bit easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Boxbush - Fuel Rescue Boxbush

This really was what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had become quite quiet until now, and Brian and I were relaxing looking through a couple of old newspapers. This was a rare peaceful moment in Gloucestershire. Actually it was so calm that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist stated: "I have only just ended my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my apricot Lexus IS F by mistake". I got him to inform us just where the car was and we hit the road, reaching him in Boxbush less than an hour or so later. The fuel was taken out from the engine. He said thank you for coming so quickly. While we were heading back home we found two girls on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. So we pulled over to change it, much 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.
