It was just before 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated talking about the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the next call to come in. Before long we received the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Wickhams Cross and put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Cadillac Sixty Special lease car. She was very irritated apparently, crying "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, because it was just a few minutes off from us, we could reach the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may well contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

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.
