It was after 9 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and me were seated there talking over the recent golf rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Orchard Portman and put petrol in a diesel cream Jaguar X-Type rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to move the car into a secure position and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel
In Somerset we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.
Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car?
As the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And of course take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.
Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA3 Postcode - Orchard Portman Misfueling
What a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and we were on the way to assist an old lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel shiny Daewoo Leganza in Orchard Portman. I'd been told she had driven away from the filling station and pulled up along a rural road along the way to see her family. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she explained, "I am getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only just bought it a couple of days back because my former car, which I'd used for in excess of thirty years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Somerset woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Orchard Portman
I am not ever so hot for working on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd just come away from the family filled with a wonderful Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was off to help a fellow who had put the incorrect petrol in his matte black BMW 5 Series. He was located in Orchard Portman so I was on scene before long. As I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank God! I had my mind on other things and did not grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused any problems through starting it?" I revealed there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I would personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another content customer could continue on their ride with no bother. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what makes earning a living on Sundays in Somerset just a little bit better in my opinion!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Orchard Portman - Fuel Rescue Orchard Portman
A driver from Orchard Portman with her children in her diesel khaki green Fiat Uno had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us weeping and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that everything would be okay and that she would be back on the road soon. When we got there she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the children on board."

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.
