It was just before eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's football rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Perry Street and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mom's Audi S5 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to her right away. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Somerset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Perry Street - Wrong Fuel in Car Perry Street

I had a wonderful afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I headed out to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Perry Street. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Ferarri red Fiat Bravo, and were about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on constantly in Somerset and that it's nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful by his better half. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved goodbye and pondered on what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the very same error... I would never ever live it down!

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.
