It was after seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated going over the recent golf results, ready for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Woolaston Slade and filled petrol in her diesel super Isuzu i-350 hire car by mistake. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to find her without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and much less worried. Another job in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Woolaston Slade (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They can also fix the usual problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases very easily.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL15 Postcode - Woolaston Slade Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and I was off to help an old woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel wife's Seat Altea in Woolaston Slade. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a backwater road on route to see her family. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a couple of days ago because my previous one, which I'd owned for over 25 years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Gloucestershire woman!

We are fully compliant and covered and so you are aware that the motor vehicle is in risk-free hands. On top of that, our technicians are thoroughly trained and expert in handling practically all makes and models.

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.
