It was just after 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing talking over the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Cloford Common and put petrol in her diesel apricot Volvo C30 lease car by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

I'd had a terrific evening hiking on my off day and was feeling delighted the following morning as I set off to assist a new family on holiday in Cloford Common. They stopped after putting petrol in their mom's Peugeot Bipper, and the car was approximately half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this problem happens quite frequently in Somerset and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, however he all the same got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I drained all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted good-bye and wondered what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the very same error... I would personally never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Cloford Common

I am not excessively enthusiastic about running weekends, and a while back was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids filled with a wonderful Sunday roast cooked for us by the better half, and I was en route to help a man after he filled the wrong petrol in his light blue Audi Q5. He was stationed in Cloford Common thus I arrived with him almost immediately. As I drove up right behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise God! I had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted some damage simply by starting it?" I said that generally there probably should not be harm and also that I would get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and so another satisfied customer was able to continue on their trip without the bother. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes earning a living on Sundays in Somerset a little bit easier in my opinion!

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It was pretty quiet up to now, and me and Ryan were loafing reading several old papers. That was an unusual peaceful moment in Somerset. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that when the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The person stated: "I've only just completed my night shift and foolishly put petrol in my partner's Saab 9-3". I asked him to let us know just where he was located and we headed out, reaching him in Cloford Common no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor. He said many thanks for coming so promptly. As we were heading back to the depot we spotted two girls at the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we got out to help them 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.
