It was around ten pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting commenting on the football, at the ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Butcombe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel light green Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 lease car in error. The poor lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find her without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and a lot less worried. A job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel is likely to trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

This was certainly an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly 2 in the morning and nobody was around. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and Ray and I were loafing about reading through a few old magazines. It was a rare tranquil time in Somerset. It was indeed so calm that when my mobile rang it made me jump! The motorist explained: "I've finished my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a sombre grey BMW 745". We got him to tell us exactly where the car was and we set off, getting to him in Butcombe only half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. While we were heading back home we spotted two girls at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. Obviously we stopped to change it, 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.
