It was before 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent rugby results, prepared for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Oake and filled petrol in her diesel deep grey Mitsubishi Endeavor lease car. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably happen. She managed to move the car to a secure space and, as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Oake (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the common issues that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Oake

Now I'm not necessarily overly hot for doing work Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after eating a lovely dinner prepared for me by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman after he had put the incorrect petrol in his cream Lexus. He was situated in Oake and so I was there rapidly. As I arrived right behind the car and started work he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my mind on stuff and failed to perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about some problems by simply starting it?" I stated generally there probably should not be any harm and that also I would personally get the fuel drained at once. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and then yet another satisfied motorist could continue on their trip without the hassle. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make working on weekends in Somerset just that small bit less painful for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Oake - Fuel Rescue Oake

A customer from Oake with a full car of kids in her diesel father's Subaru Legacy had put £42 of petrol at the BP filling station. She phoned us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what might happen to her car . We assured her that the car would be okay and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the kids on board."

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.
