It was before 10 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing there going over the recent footy results, prepared for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Horsebridge and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic yellow Seat Exeo rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. Yet another job in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SO20 Postcode - Horsebridge Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Tuesday and we were on the way to help an elder sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel racing green BMW in Horsebridge. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up in a country road along the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I got to the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she said, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel since I'd just bought it a couple of days back because my old one, which I had had for more than thirty years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely 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.
