It was around ten pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing discussing the football results, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Birdwood and put petrol in a diesel BMW hire car by mistake. She was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Gloucestershire we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.
So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very simply.
Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

A young person who had only recently passed his driving test had wrong fuelled his MINI by having petrol in the diesel vehicle at the petrol station near Birdwood. He said, "This is the second occasion I have fuelled my car since I got it and I don't know what to do." He was scared as his dad had just bought him the car. He came across our company on the net and so called us right away, frightened about what he ought to do.

Wrong Fuel Birdwood - Birdwood Fuel Rescue
A customer from Birdwood with a full car of children in her diesel Dacia had put £40 of petrol at the Tesco service station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what might happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything should be fine and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the little ones on board."
