It was before 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Ley and filled petrol in a diesel teal Renault Kangoo rental car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and less apprehensive. Another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA24 Postcode - Ley Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an older lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel creamy white Mercedes-Benz SL-Class in Ley. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a country road en route to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was working she said, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had only acquired it a week back after my other car, which I had for about twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Somerset lady!

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.
