It was around 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting talking about the tennis, at the ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Kempsford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel uncle's Hyundai Elantra rental in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could find the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Should you get in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Kempsford - Wrong Fuel in Car Kempsford

I had a wonderful afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the following morning as I set out to help a new couple who were on holiday in Kempsford. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their dark red Kia Optima, and were about an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "How could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's actually nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he yet still had an earful by his better half. Poor chap. Anyways, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted good bye and considered what my missus would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
