It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were resting there talking over the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the sixth call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Keinton Mandeville and put petrol in a diesel maroon Peugeot 406 hire car. The poor lady was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. A job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Keinton Mandeville

Now I am not ever so enthusiastic about doing the job on weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just departed the family after having a fantastic dinner cooked for us by the better half, and I was on my way to help a guy after he had put the wrong petrol in his light blue Volkswagen Tiguan. He was located in Keinton Mandeville so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I pulled up behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused problems as a result of driving it?" I said that truth be told there probably should not be any damage and that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained quickly for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and thus another content motorist was able to continue his traveling without bother. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes operating on weekends in Somerset a little bit better to me!

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.
