It was before 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were relaxing there talking about the sports, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Locking and filled petrol in a diesel bright yellow Ford Focus rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe area and, because it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel
In Somerset we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.
Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?
Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly don't start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

The driver of a cream Audi A5 was sorry that he put petrol in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the road and it coughed and stopped.

In truth, when he first called us he said he wanted to research prices, but he phoned us back shortly because our price and call-out times were the most desirable. Not surprisingly, our technician had him back carrying out his deliveries within the time period we had cited.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Locking
We performed a wrong fuel removal job outside a lovely residential home in Locking a few weeks ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to very nearly reach home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, regardless that it was rather late at night, and did a thorough fuel drain and cleanse on the sky blue Toyota Sequoia .

This was most definitely what is called the graveyard shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had become quite uneventful until now, and Ray and I were sitting about reading through a number of old papers. That was an unusual calm hour in Somerset. Actually it was that relaxing that when the telephone rang I leaped! The voice told me: "I've completed my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel baby blue Ford Focus by mistake". I asked him to tell us exactly where the car was situated and we left, arriving in Locking under an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor. He said thanks a lot for arriving so fast. As we were heading back to the office we noticed two young ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we pulled over to help them 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
