It was around 6 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were relaxing there talking about the recent sports results, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Prestleigh and put the wrong fuel in a diesel blue Mercedes-Benz E-Class hire car. She was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to reach her right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!
Petrol in your diesel car in Prestleigh? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this situation and get you moving once again with our expert fuel removal services.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases quite expediently.
Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.
No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can empty it for you.
Wrong Fuel in Car in BA4 Postcode - Prestleigh Misfueling
Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and I was on the way to assist an old sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel husband's Daihatsu Rocky in Prestleigh. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded along a backwater lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I got to the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she explained, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it a week ago when my other one, which I owned for over twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Somerset woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Prestleigh
I am not necessarily that keen on doing work weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just left home filled with a fantastic dinner made by the missus, and I was on my way to help a man after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his modern Hyundai Elantra. He was only in Prestleigh so I was on scene rapidly. As I arrived at the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my mind on something else and failed to perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought on any kind of harm by running it?" I stated that truth be told there shouldn't be any problems and that also I would personally remove the contaminated fuel quickly. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and thus another satisfied customer was able to carry on with their ride without any difficulty. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in Somerset just that little bit better to me!

"I put unleaded instead of diesel which wasn't a great way to begin to our holiday." It was absolutely no hassle at all for our technical engineer to go out and carry out the fuel drain. We hope the family enjoyed their vacation.

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.
