It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were relaxing talking over the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th job that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Chard and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel raspberry red Daewoo Lanos lease car in error. The poor lady was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that these things do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. One more job in Somerset done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances rather simply.
You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

A motorist had broken down near a street in Chard. His dark red VW Tiguan car had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was awry until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got no sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Chard
Now I am not ever so enthusiastic about working on Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids following a tasty roast made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a man because he put the wrong fuel in his metallic silver Volvo S60. He was only in Chard so it wasn't long before I reached him. As I pulled up at the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and did not perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any harm simply by starting it?" I stated truth be told there probably should not be any damage and that I would remove the fuel at once. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and then one more delighted motorist was able to carry on with their journey without the need for bother. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what can make working on Sundays in Somerset a little better for me personally!

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly sunrise and noone was about. It had become quite uneventful thus far, and John and I were sitting looking through several old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet hour in Somerset. It was indeed so calm that when my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The voice on the phone told me: "I've just ended my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in the diesel raspberry red Volkswagen Touareg by mistake". I instructed him to tell us where the car was located and we hit the road, arriving in Chard only an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car. He thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. While we were going back home we noticed two young ladies at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we got out and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
