Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Middle Green and filled petrol in a diesel bright yellow BMW Z8 rental in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations very expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Saturday and we were en route to assist an older lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel husband's Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG in Middle Green. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a backwater lane en route to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle.

I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Somerset lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Middle Green

I'm not actually overly keen on doing work weekends, and the other day was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after a magnificent dinner made for me by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman because he put the wrong fuel in his green Toyota. He was situated in Middle Green and so I arrived there quickly. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created damage because of driving it?" I said generally there shouldn't be any problems and also I would personally drain the fuel quickly for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and one more contented customer was able to carry on with their journey without difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this can make operating on Sundays in Somerset that little easier in my opinion!

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.
