It was just before 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the sixth call that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Rushcombe Bottom and put the wrong fuel in a diesel boss' Kia Optima rental in error. The poor thing was rather distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Dorset done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.
Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Rushcombe Bottom
Now I am certainly not excessively interested in working Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same.

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.
