It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing commenting on the footy results, waiting for the sixth call for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Etchingham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel modern Vauxhall Insignia rental. The poor thing was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. Yet another job in East Sussex well done in my books!

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Etchingham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will handle the common troubles that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations rather easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Saturday and I was off to help an old woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel winter grey Citron in Etchingham. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up in a country road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "I am becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel because I had just bought it a week back after my other car, which I had had for in excess of 30 years, inevitably died". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a delightful East Sussex woman!

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 VAT 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.
