It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting commenting on the weekend's sports, at the ready for the seventh job to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Alveston Down and filled petrol in her diesel Ferarri red Mitsubishi Expo rental by mistake. She was rather agitated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from us, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Alveston Down (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your automobile. They can also handle any of the usual issues which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.
