It was before 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the recent football rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Cotford St Luke and filled petrol in a diesel Ferarri red Saab rental by mistake. The poor lady was very irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and less anxious. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people not understanding how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously do not crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA4 Postcode - Cotford St Luke Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to help an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel customised Mercedes Sprinter in Cotford St Luke. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a rural lane en route to see her family. I popped the location in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I am getting quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a week ago when my previous one, which I owned for in excess of 30 years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Somerset woman!

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.

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 VA 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.
