Wrong Fuel in Car Sandpits, Gloucestershire

Petrol in a diesel automobile in Sandpits? Thank you for visiting Wrong Fuel SoS. Phone us and enquire just how we could help to get you back on track once again.

It was close to five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there discussing the recent sports, waiting around for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Sandpits and put petrol in her diesel friend's Mazda B2500 rental. The poor lady was very irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you’ve poured AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It tends to be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly any time you run the engine with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Any time you end up in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

A somewhat concerned driver phoned us from the Texaco petrol station at Gloucestershire to tell us that he put petrol in his diesel modified Mazda MX-3; he wasn't totally certain how he'd managed to do it.

He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the gentleman who arrived to take care of the fuel drain was genuinely very good - he didn't make me look and feel foolish."

I had a wonderful day fishing on my holiday and felt contented with myself the next working day as I set off to help a new family who were vacationing in Sandpits. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their modern Mitsubishi Challenger, and were around half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked as I heard to the wife chastising her hubby for being so daft. "How could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this goes on quite frequently in Gloucestershire and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching while they drove away I mouthed goodbye and considered what my wife would ask me if ever I made the very same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

We supply you with fresh fuel at pump cost, and we are able to in most cases have your car drained and all set to go inside of an hour or so. All waste fuel is disposed of by us through a accredited waste carrier and recycled.

We recently got a phone call about a businessman who had put the wrong fuel in his father's Skoda Octavia in Sandpits. He had conked out on the road. "It was amazing how speedy you guys were in getting a technician out to help me when I foolishly unleaded in my diesel car. Thank you ever so much". Needless to say we arrived promptly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived our technician said the customer was fuming, but was satisfied after the fuel drain.

A woman from Sandpits with her kids in her diesel winter grey Mitsubishi Pajero had put £50 of petrol at the Tesco station. She phoned us crying and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what would happen to her car because of it. We assured her that everything would be fine and that she would be in action soon. When we got there she was still upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically 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:

  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.
