It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and me were seated talking about the recent sports results, waiting around for the next call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Shapridge and put petrol in a diesel metallic red BMW 545 lease car by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and much less worried. A fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Out of Fuel Service
Run out of fuel in Shapridge (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They can also fix the standard problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
AdBlue Contamination
In Gloucestershire we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not knowing the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.
So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?
Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the technical know-how and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
