It was around 10 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's football results, ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Chidham and filled petrol in her diesel cobalt blue Toyota Yaris hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman without delay.

Out of fuel in Chidham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the usual issues which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chidham - Wrong Fuel in Car Chidham

I had appreciated a great day fishing during my day off and felt pleased with myself the following day as I was on the way to help a young family who were away in Chidham. They stopped after filling diesel into their burgundy red Peugeot 104, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the girl telling her partner off for being so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place quite frequently in West Sussex and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove away I mouthed farewell and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the same blunder... I would personally never ever 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.
