It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were resting there discussing the weekend's tennis results, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Crewkerne and put petrol in a diesel super Mitsubishi Endeavor rental car. She was quite affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. A job in Somerset done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations fairly easily.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Crewkerne

Now I am not actually excessively keen on running on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just departed the wife and kids filled with a fantastic Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to assist a man after he filled the incorrect petrol in his clean white Volkswagen Golf. He was located in Crewkerne and so I was there rapidly. As I arrived behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my mind on something else and didn't perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any problems because of driving it?" I revealed that generally there should not be any kind of damage and also that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the correct fuel, and another content client was able to carry on with their traveling without the need for hassle. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that helps make working on weekends in Somerset a tiny bit better for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Crewkerne - Fuel Rescue Crewkerne

A customer from Crewkerne with a full car of little ones in her diesel rugged Cadillac Allante had put £40 of petrol at the Co Op filling station. She phoned us sobbing and really upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that all should be okay and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was visible upset but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the children on board."

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.
