It was just before 6 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and I were resting there talking about the tennis, prepared for the next call to come in. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Westbury and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel khaki green BMW X6 rental car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this do happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases fairly expediently.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and we were on my way to assist an older lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel super Hyundai Santa Fe in Westbury. I had been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a backwater road on the way to visit her godchildren. I popped the location in the Satnav and was with her within an hour. I got to the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only bought it a week ago after my previous car, which I used for in excess of 25 years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. What a delightful Wiltshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Westbury - Wrong Fuel in Car Westbury

I had enjoyed a fantastic day hiking on my off day and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set out to aid a new family vacationing in Westbury. They stopped after putting petrol in their brother's Alfa Romeo Spider, and they were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this situation takes place frequently in Wiltshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he all the same got an earful. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved good bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I made the very same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!

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.

• 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 VAT 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.
