It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were resting talking about the recent football, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Knights Enham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel bright white Ford Focus ST lease car in error. She was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and less anxious. A job in Hampshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SP10 Postcode - Knights Enham Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to assist an older sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel cyan Renault Twingo in Knights Enham. I had been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a country lane on the way to see her family. I punched her location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I had only just bought it a couple of days ago because my other one, which I had had for more than 25 years, finally died on me". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Hampshire lady!

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.
