It was just after ten pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were seated discussing the weekend's golf, waiting for the 6th job for the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Atherstone and filled petrol in a diesel partner's Cadillac STS rental car. She was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. One more job in Somerset done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances rather expediently.
Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

A young lady had conked out on a street, Atherstone having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was weeping and quite distressed as she had put £55 petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we made an effort to sooth her as well as we could, assuring her that all would be fine. When we got to her she was no longer troubled and was quite interested in watching our technician do the fuel drain on her mom's Austin Mini Cooper.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Atherstone
I'm not actually that inclined to doing work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just left the wife and kids after a tasty roast prepared by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a guy after he had filled the wrong petrol in his bright red Subaru Impreza. He was located in Atherstone and so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I arrived behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any kind of problems simply by starting it?" I said that generally there should not be any kind of damage and also that I would get the fuel drained immediately for him. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus one more contented client could carry on with their trip without any fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what tends to make working on Sundays in Somerset just a little bit better for 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:
- 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.
