It was just after 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were resting going over the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Skilgate and filled petrol in a diesel work's Kia Sedona hire car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite expediently.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

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.
