It was about 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Hill Top and put petrol in a diesel bright yellow Peugeot 307 lease car in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in West Sussex well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hill Top (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will deal with any of the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Imagine being stuck in a car running on the incorrect fuel halfway down the street.

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.
