It was just after 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were seated talking about the weekend's sports, at the ready for the sixth job that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in East Clevedon and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Fiat Punto rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. A misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases very easily.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to assist an elder sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel customised Toyota Solara in East Clevedon. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and stranded in a rural lane on route to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she said to me, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had just acquired it a couple of days ago right after my other one, which I used for about thirty years, finally broke down". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a lovely Somerset woman!

This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was about 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet until now, and Ryan and I were relaxing looking at some old newspapers. It was an uncommon calm time in Somerset. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The voice on the phone told me: "I have ended my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in my diesel expensive Honda Civic GX by mistake". We asked him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was located and we headed out, getting to him in East Clevedon an hour or so later.

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.
