It was about six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated talking over the golf, at the ready for the next job of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Maybush and filled petrol in a diesel wife's Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could find her right away. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and much less concerned.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to start the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SO16 Postcode - Maybush Misfueling

What a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to help an elder woman who put petrol in her diesel black Citron DS4 in Maybush. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded in a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I popped the location in the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I reached the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel since I'd only just acquired it a few days back because my other car, which I had had for in excess of twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Hampshire lady!

Consequently, in case you've topped up your petrol car with diesel, or the wrong fuel in your diesel vehicle just about anywhere in Hampshire, get in touch with us immediately. Our expert technicians are all set for your call.

I'd had a wonderful afternoon cycling during the weekend and felt cheerful the following day as I headed out to aid a new family vacationing in Maybush. They'd stopped after inserting diesel into their customised Toyota Cressida, and were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady telling her husband off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this problem comes to pass quite frequently in Hampshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
