It was just before eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the rugby results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Thurloxton and filled petrol in her diesel creamy white Land Rover Freelander lease car. She was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty easily.
Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA2 Postcode - Thurloxton Misfueling
A motorist had stopped on a street, Thurloxton having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was crying and fairly distressed as she had put £50 of petrol in her diesel car. When she contacted us we made an effort to relax her as best we could, assuring her that all would be alright. When we arrived with her she was no longer aggrieved and was rather interested in watching our technician carry out the fuel drain on her spotless Fiat 500.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
