It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated talking about the football results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Easton-in-Gordano and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel classic Mercedes M-Class hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. Another job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in case you have poured AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with AdBlue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BS20 Postcode - Easton-in-Gordano Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to assist an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel rugged Jaguar XK in Easton-in-Gordano. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a country road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I had only acquired it a couple of days back when my former car, which I'd had for about thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. 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.

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 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.
