It was after 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's tennis, ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Cothelstone and put petrol in her diesel friend's Cadillac DTS rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Somerset we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.
Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?
Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Should you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical expertise and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

What a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were en route to assist an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Chevrolet Suburban in Cothelstone. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded in a backwater lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she said, "I am becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd only got it a week back after my former one, which I'd used for in excess of twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a lovely Somerset woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Cothelstone - Wrong Fuel in Car Cothelstone
I'd had a fantastic evening golfing on the weekend and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a young couple away in Cothelstone. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their daughter's Skoda Fabia, and were about an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs on daily basis in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and considered what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
