It was close to eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were seated commenting on the recent footy, waiting around for the next call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Snails Hill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel company's Fiat 500 rental in error. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we could find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and much less concerned.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can certainly produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances very simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling 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.
