Zoo Trip Mayhem

We were recently called for a fuel drain in the Longton area of Stoke-on-Trent. This poor chap had hired a Transit minibus for the day, to take his children and there friends to Chester Zoo during the summer holidays. Even though he usually only drives a diesel, he had somehow managed to put in 30 litres of unleaded into the minibus before realising his mistake.

Misfuel On A Landover Freelander

Mr Braithwaite left his home in Ipswich for the 30 minute trip to Colchester stopping only for Fuel. You guessed it... he accidentally put £35 of petrol in his diesel Freelander before he noticed it was not diesel. Luckily a customer on the filling stations forecourt suggested he give Fuel Doctor a call for some advice.

Wrong Fuel in Ford Transit

Taxi driver Ray had just taken a couple to Luton Airport from Stevenage he had dropped them off at the terminal then stopped to fill his tank ready for his busy night ahead.

Ray left the filling station in his Ford Transit Minibus without a problem, he even made it to Hitchin, Hertfordshire some 15 miles away before the minibus started to jump. Ray wasn’t sure why and called his breakdown company as the transit had by this time grinded to a halt. He was asked if had filled up recently and asked to check his receipt. Yes it was Petrol in his Diesel Transit!

Ray was told it would cost him around £1500 to put right and would have to be towed to a garage losing his minibus for a week.
Fortunately, his Taxi office advised him to call Fuel Doctor for some honest advice and prompt action. 90 minutes and just £145 later Ray was on his way Letchworth for his next pickup!

Ray was over the moon following the horror stories he has heard from other taxi drivers who have miss-fuelled, Ray tells me he will be extra careful when selecting between Petrol and Diesel in future!

Wrong Fuel in Car – Audi A4

There are many people that put the wrong fuel in their car and when they do, we use our experience in fuel drain to help get them back up and running again. An Audi A4 Tdi Quattro is one of the cars we have previously worked on. When we carried out the fuel drain on this car we only had to put 20 litres in and all the fuel fortunately was on the neck. After the mobile fuel drain was finished the car then started fairly easily. Find out more by visiting us online.

Diesel in Petrol - Alfa Romeo 147

One of our Fuel Doctors recently worked on an Alfa Romeo 147 07 reg. The owner had put diesel in a petrol tank, however they hadn't driven it. The approach for the job was to go all out from neck with a big pipe. The gauge went down nicely however when they put £50 worth of fuel in it didn't move for a while, however after a few minutes it went to a 1/4 full. The car then started easily - it was a successful fuel drain.
