It was close to 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the footy results, ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Shapwick and put petrol in her diesel sky blue Subaru Outback Sport hire car by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DT11 Postcode - Shapwick Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Saturday and we were on the way to help an elder sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel brand new VW in Shapwick. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and stranded on a country road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel because I'd just got it several days back after my former car, which I had had for in excess of 30 years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Dorset lady!

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.
