It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting talking about the rugby, prepared for the seventh job for the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Rooks Bridge and put petrol in a diesel dark red Suzuki Samurai rental by mistake. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure space and, because it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and less apprehensive. A job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances rather simply.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BS26 Postcode - Rooks Bridge Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Monday and we were en route to help an old lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel blue Volkswagen GTI in Rooks Bridge. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down on a backwater road on the way to see her godchildren. I popped her location into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel as I'd only just purchased it a week ago right after my other one, which I had for over twenty five years, finally broke down". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a lovely Somerset lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Rooks Bridge - Wrong Fuel in Car Rooks Bridge

I'd had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Rooks Bridge. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their clean white Cadillac Seville, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smiled while I heard to the gal berating her hubby for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs on a regular basis in Somerset and that it's really nothing at all to stress about, however he still got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I drained out all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I did the very same thing... I would never live it down!

This was exactly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 2am and noone was around. It had become fairly uneventful until now, and Brian and I were loafing looking at a number of old articles. That was an uncommon calm hour in Somerset. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that the moment my mobile rang I jumped! The motorist explained: "I have completed my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel mint green BMW Z4 M Roadster in error". I instructed him to inform us exactly where the car was and we headed out, ending up in Rooks Bridge half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car.

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.
