It was close to eight pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were sitting discussing the recent rugby results, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Summerlands and put petrol in her diesel creamy white Jaguar X-Type rental in error. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe position and, since it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to get to her right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Summerlands

We fairly recently received a call about a motorist who had put the incorrect fuel in his father's BMW in Summerlands. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't realize the quandary before it ground to a halt. You took the wrong fuel from my car and had it working . I was happy due to both how quick you were and your rates". Needless to say we arrived punctually and flushed the engine after draining the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival our fuel drainer said the client was raging, but was really happy after the fuel drain.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had become fairly uneventful up to now, and me and Ray were sitting around perusing some old newspapers. It was an uncommon peaceful time in Somerset. Actually it was indeed that quiet that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the phone said: "I have only just finished my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in the faithful Kia Sephia". We got him to let us know where exactly he was located and we hit the road, ending up in Summerlands not as much as an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine. He said many thanks for getting there so rapidly. While we were going back to the office we noticed two young ladies on the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
