It was before seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were resting there discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Ashcott Corner and put the wrong fuel in a diesel precious Volvo lease car by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases quite easily.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

I'd had a perfect day cycling during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I set out to aid a new couple holidaying in Ashcott Corner. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their expensive Volvo C30, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I heard to the lady telling off her partner for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass constantly in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, nonetheless he yet still had an earful by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted farewell and wondered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It was quite uneventful so far, and me and John were sitting around looking at several old articles. It was an unusual peaceful moment in Somerset. Actually it was so tranquil that when the phone finally rang it made me start! The voice said: "I have ended my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the son's Seat Leon by mistake". We asked him to inform us exactly where the car was located and we left, reaching him in Ashcott Corner an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the motor. He thanked us for showing up so fast. While we were coming back home we found two young women at the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
