It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were resting going over the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Westonzoyland and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel spotless Mitsubishi Expo rental. She was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and less anxious. One more job in Somerset well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA7 Postcode - Westonzoyland Misfueling

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Wednesday and I was on the way to help an elder woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel luxury Peugeot 407 in Westonzoyland. I'd been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I had just got it several days ago because my previous car, which I had owned for about twenty years, finally died on me". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious Somerset woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Westonzoyland

Now I'm not ever very interested in doing work Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had only just departed home filled with a tasty roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was en route to help a man who had put the incorrect petrol in his new Peugeot 107. He was stationed in Westonzoyland so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and did not grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I caused any harm because of running it?" I said truth be told there probably should not be any damage and that also I would personally remove the wrong fuel quickly for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and so one more content motorist had the ability to carry on with his journey without any hassle. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make operating on Sundays in Somerset a little bit easier to me!

This really was what we call the graveyard shift. It was about 2 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had been quite uneventful until now, and me and Ryan were relaxing reading through a number of old papers. That was an uncommon calm hour in Somerset. Actually it was in fact that quiet that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The voice on the other end told me: "I have just ended my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel baby blue Mazda B2000 by mistake". I asked him to let us know just where he was and we set off, ending up in Westonzoyland no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he thanked us for coming out so rapidly. While we were returning home we saw two girls at the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out to change it, much 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:

  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.
