It was after eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were seated talking about the recent rugby results, at the ready for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Appley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel friend's Volkswagen GLI rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA21 Postcode - Appley Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to help an older woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel mint green Audi A6 in Appley. I'd been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a rural road en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I reached the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she explained, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel since I had just purchased it a short while ago because my other one, which I owned for over 30 years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Somerset 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.
