It was around 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated talking about the footy, prepared for the seventh call that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Golds Cross and filled petrol in her diesel maroon Saab 9-3 rental car. The poor lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected space and, since it was just a few miles from our van, we could arrive at her right away. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations very quickly.
Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

A motorist had broken down on a street, Golds Cross just after having put the wrong fuel in her car. She was in tears and very troubled as she had put £40 petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we attempted to relax her as best we could, telling her that all would be okay. By the time we got to her she was not upset any more and was really curious in watching our fuel drainer complete the fuel drain on her matte black Mercedes M-Class. Later she said: "My vehicle is akin to my child, I only recently got it so it genuinely horrified me that I had put such an abundance of wrong fuel in it. I'm so gratified that it was easily fixable."

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Golds Cross
We fairly recently received a call from a businessman who put the incorrect fuel in his apricot Audi Coupe Quattro in Golds Cross. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the predicament up until the time we stopped working. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it working once again. I was pleased as a result of both how quick you were and your rates". Naturally we arrived on the scene promptly and purged the engine after flushing all of the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival the fuel drainer said the driver was fuming, but was pleased when we finished.

This was the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and nobody was stirring. It had been fairly dead thus far, and me and Paul were loafing reading through a couple of old newspapers. This was an uncommon tranquil moment in Somerset. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone told me: "I have concluded my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel friend's BMW Z3 by mistake". I asked him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was located and we left, arriving in Golds Cross less than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us for arriving so fast. While we were returning to the office we noticed two women on the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
