It was around ten pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's golf results, prepared for the next call to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Marston Bigot and filled petrol in a diesel burgundy red Fiat Nuova 500 rental car by mistake. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank at the back of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

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.
