It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent golf rankings, waiting for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Lower Roadwater and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel rugged Vauxhall Combo lease car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure area and, as it was just a few miles off from the office, we could arrive at her without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less anxious. Another job in Somerset done well in my mind!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances very simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.

I had enjoyed a fantastic day hiking during the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I headed out to aid a new couple vacationing in Lower Roadwater. They had broken down after inserting petrol in their bright red Jaguar, and were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady berating her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he all the same got his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

We furnish you with fresh fuel at pump cost, and we are able to generally have your vehicle done and set to head out in under an hour.

Tales from our Lower Roadwater personnel:

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Roadwater

We not long ago received a call about a businessman who had put the wrong fuel in his raspberry red Cadillac Escalade in Lower Roadwater. He had conked out on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't realize the dilemma till it conked out. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it working once again. I was amazed by both your call-out time and your value for money". It goes without saying that we got there punctually and purged the engine after draining all of the petrol from the diesel tank. When he arrived the technician said the client was scowling, but was pleased afterwards.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to dawn and noone was around. It had become pretty dead until now, and me and John were sitting reading through several old articles. It was a rare peaceful time in Somerset. Actually it was that relaxing that the moment the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The customer told me: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a modern Lexus IS-F". We got him to tell us where the vehicle was situated and we left, arriving in Lower Roadwater under an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thanks a lot for coming out so quickly. While we were heading back home we noticed two ladies on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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.
