It was just after 10 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting talking about the golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Farnborough Park and filled petrol in her diesel grey Mazda MX-6 hire car in error. The poor lady was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Run out of fuel in Farnborough Park (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the most common problems that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty easily.
Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

A driver from Farnborough Park with a full car of little ones in her diesel mustard yellow Hyundai Elantra had put £30 of petrol at the station. She phoned us crying and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that the car would be okay and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the youngsters on board."

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 VAT 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.
