It was around 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were resting there talking over the recent football results, waiting for the sixth call to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Stourton Caundle and filled petrol in a diesel creamy white Seat Altea lease car. She was pretty troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure position and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations quite expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Dorset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Stourton Caundle

Now I'm not too enthusiastic about running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just departed home after eating a fantastic dinner cooked for me by the missus, and I was en route to assist a fellow after he filled the wrong petrol in his yellow Mazda MX-6. He was only in Stourton Caundle thus I was there very quickly. Just as I drove up behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my attention on stuff and didn't ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of problems by running it?" I stated truth be told there should not be any kind of problems and that I would get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. Needless to say I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and then yet another delighted client could continue on his traveling without any fuss. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what tends to make operating on weekends in Dorset just that small bit better in my opinion!

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 VA 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.
