It was after 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were seated there talking over the recent footy results, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Couch Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel brand new Seat Altea rental. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure space and, since it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could get to the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances very quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SO21 Postcode - Couch Green Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and I was on my way to help an older woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel cyan Peugeot 405 in Couch Green. She told us that she had left the filling station and was stranded on a rural road en route to see her family. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and drained the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd just got it a week back after my former car, which I had used for about twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What 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.
