It was about six pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Westport and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Cadillac STS-V hire car. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach her quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Somerset done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances fairly quickly.
Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Westport
We did a wrong fuel removal exercise outside a lovely residence in Westport a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to very nearly reach home when my car cut out." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was pretty late at night, and carried out a full fuel drain and purge on the canary yellow Fiat Doblo .
Wrong Fuel Doctor Westport - Fuel Rescue Westport
A woman from Westport with her children in her diesel stylish Hyundai Scoupe had put £20 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She contacted us weeping and extremely worried as she had never wrong fueled before and did not know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that all should be okay and that she would be back on the road soon. When we got there she was visible upset but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children on board."

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.
