It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were seated commenting on the rugby results, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Pitney and put petrol in her diesel new Lexus IS F hire car. The poor lady was quite distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Pitney (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car. They can also fix the typical troubles which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TA10 Postcode - Pitney Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were off to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel blue Peugeot 104 in Pitney. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and was broken down in a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her family. I punched the location into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a short while back because my other one, which I had owned for in excess of thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Somerset lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Pitney

I'm not necessarily overly excited about doing work on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had only just left the family after a superb roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman who filled the incorrect petrol in his Ferarri red BMW 525. He was somewhere in Pitney so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived at the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Lord! I had my thoughts on stuff and didn't ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I created harm because of driving it?" I explained there shouldn't be problems and also that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another content client was able to carry on with their ride without the hassle. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what can make working on Sundays in Somerset just a small bit easier to me!

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.
