It was just after 7 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were seated discussing the rugby results, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Longhouse and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ferarri red Mercedes SL65 AMG lease car in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could arrive at her right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel may well bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

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.
