It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated talking over the golf results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Clevedon and put petrol in a diesel work's BMW Z4 rental car in error. She was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car to a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and much less anxious. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.
You should know though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Saturday and we were on my way to help an older lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel elegant Lexus LS in Clevedon. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down on a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I reached the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I had just purchased it a couple of days back right after my former one, which I had had for about twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Somerset lady!

This was most definitely what is called the night shift. It was around dawn and noone was about. It had become rather quiet up to now, and Ray and I were sitting perusing a few old newspapers. It was an uncommon quiet time in Somerset. Actually it was that tranquil that the moment the telephone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the other end said: "I only just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in my diesel apricot BMW 330 in error". I asked him to tell us exactly where the car was and we headed out, arriving in Clevedon under an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the car and he said thanks a lot for arriving so quickly. While we were coming back to the depot we spotted two young ladies on the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, 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.
