It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were seated going over the football results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Ebdon and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel gorgeous Honda CR-Z rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe area and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we could reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and much less stressed. Another job in Somerset well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BS22 Postcode - Ebdon Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Saturday and we were on my way to help an old sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel expensive Mitsubishi Excel in Ebdon. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I reached the car and drained the wrong fuel from the car. As I was working she said, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only just got it a couple of days ago right after my previous car, which I'd had for over twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Somerset lady!

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.
