It was just before five pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting going over the recent golf, at the ready for the next telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in West Leigh and put petrol in her diesel shiny Seat Ibiza rental in error. The poor lady was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly happen. She was able to get the car into a protected position and, because it was only a few miles away from us, we could find the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Boat Fuel Drains

We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hampshire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely do not start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Should you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PO9 Postcode - West Leigh Misfueling

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Monday and I was on the way to help an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel matte black Mercedes M-Class in West Leigh. I had been informed she had driven away from the filling station and was broken down along a rural road on the way to see her godchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had only just purchased it a week ago when my old one, which I owned for in excess of 30 years, eventually died on me". I finished the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Hampshire woman!

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.
