It was before 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting going over the footy, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Upper Vobster and put petrol in a diesel maroon BMW 3 Series lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

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.
