It was before ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there going over the footy, ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Poolhill and put petrol in her diesel metallic red BMW X5 rental car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car into a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. A job in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do in the event that you may have put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It can be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, causing devastating and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL19 Postcode - Poolhill Misfueling

A relatively alarmed driver phoned us from the Esso petrol station at Gloucestershire to tell us that he put unleaded in to his diesel spotless Cadillac CTS-V; he wasn't really sure how he'd done it. We explained to him it was not a hassle and soon had our engineer out to him to clean the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having taken out the wrong fuel, he was almost immediately back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the guy who was sent to do the fuel drain was incredibly fantastic - he didn't make me feel a fool."

We are thoroughly registered and covered so you recognise that the motor vehicle is in secure hands. We have the ability to fix all car styles irrespective of whether they have been driven on contaminated fuel or just misfueled.

Wrong Fuel Assist Poolhill - Wrong Fuel in Car Poolhill

Last week a young man called us right after his creamy white Mitsubishi Lancer cut out in the middle of a street in Poolhill. He had by accident put the wrong fuel in the diesel motor and got as far as the street before needing to give up. It was yet early in the day and our engineer, who stays not far away, arrived with him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your immediate response, especially at 2 a.m., I really appreciate it."

Stories from our own Poolhill team:

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Poolhill

We a few weeks ago received a phone call about a young man who put the incorrect fuel in his metallic green Jaguar S-Type in Poolhill. He had broken down on the road. "I was amazed at how rapid you were in having an engineer out to assist me after I mistakenly unleaded in my diesel car. Thank you". Of course we arrived on the scene promptly and purged the engine after draining all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived the fuel drainer said the motorist was raging, but was grinning his face off after the fuel drain.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Poolhill - Fuel Rescue Poolhill

This was what we call the night shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It was rather uneventful up to now, and me and John were sitting looking at a couple of old articles. This was a rare quiet hour in Gloucestershire. Actually it was that calm that the moment the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end explained: "I just finished my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in a well worn Austin Mini". We told him to tell us just where the vehicle was and we set off, ending up in Poolhill less than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the engine. He thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. As we were returning home we spotted two young women at the side of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. So we stopped and helped 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:

  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 VAT 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.
