It was around seven pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting discussing the sports results, ready for the 8th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Henfield and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic red Mercedes-Benz E-Class hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from us, we could reach her quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and less anxious. One more misfuel correction in West Sussex done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BN5 Postcode - Henfield Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Monday and I was on my way to help an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel dirty red Lexus IS F in Henfield. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and stranded along a country road along the way to visit her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had just purchased it a week back when my old car, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful West Sussex 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.
