It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports results, ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Winterhead and filled petrol in a diesel grey BMW 330 hire car. The poor lady was very affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected spot and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations rather quickly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Winterhead

We fairly recently received a call about a man who put the wrong fuel in his bright red Mercedes CLS-Class in Winterhead. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After inserting petrol in my diesel car I didn't realize the issue before it stopped working. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning . I was impressed by both how swift you were and your value for money". Needless to say we got there rapidly and purged the engine after draining the petrol from the diesel tank. When he arrived our engineer said the driver was raging, but was satisfied after the fuel drain.

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.
