It was about 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting commenting on the recent footy results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Alhampton and put petrol in her diesel grass green Mercedes SL-Class lease car. She was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car into a secure position and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and a lot less worried. A job in Somerset done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your fuel can trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances rather swiftly.
You should know that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

This was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to 3:30am and almost noone was around. It was pretty dead up to now, and John and I were loafing about browsing some old magazines. That was an unusual calm time in Somerset. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that the instant my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The person on the phone explained: "I just completed my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in my matte black Honda Civic GX". We asked him to tell us where the car was and we hit the road, ending up in Alhampton not as much as an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he said thanks for arriving so rapidly. While we were going back to the office we noticed two young ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. So we got out to change it, much to their elation.

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.
