It was around seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring!

Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Overton and filled petrol in her diesel new-shape BMW 525 rental in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle!

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Hampshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling delighted the following morning as I headed out to aid a young family who were on holiday in Overton. They had pulled over after inserting diesel in their beloved Mercedes Sprinter 2500, and were around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife berating her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this situation occurs frequently in Hampshire and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same got an earful. Unfortunate guy.

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.
