We're merely a phone call away.

It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting commenting on the sports rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Webbington and put petrol in her diesel customised Skoda Octavia hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather easily.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BS26 Postcode - Webbington Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an elder lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Fiat 500 in Webbington. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and was pulled up on a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had just acquired it a week ago after my old one, which I'd used for over 25 years, finally died". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Somerset woman!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Webbington - Fuel Rescue Webbington

A customer from Webbington with a full car of youngsters in her diesel aunt's BMW 325 had put £40 of petrol at the Co Op station. She called us sobbing and extremely upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that everything would be ok and that she would be in action very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined.

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.
