It was before 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! James and I were seated there talking over the recent footy, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Hangleton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel brand new Peugeot 3008 hire car. She was quite agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from us, we could find the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in West Sussex well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

The driver of a husband's Mitsubishi was regretful that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the road and it coughed and ceased.

To be truthful, when he first telephoned us he said he'd shop around, but he phoned us back before long because our rate and call-out times were the best. Naturally, our technician had him once again doing his deliveries within the period we'd quoted.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hangleton

I am certainly not overly enthusiastic about doing the job Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd only just departed home after a tasty Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on my way to help a gentleman after he had put the wrong fuel in his expensive VW Touareg 2. He was only in Hangleton thus it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on stuff and did not grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about any damage as a result of starting it?" I stated truth be told there probably should not be any harm and also that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and thus yet another satisfied motorist was able to carry on with their journey with no bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in West Sussex just a small bit better to me!

A woman driving in Hangleton contacted us after she tried to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had filled petrol in her diesel buff Peugeot 405 and, like many people before her, believed that she could just fill up her vehicle with diesel and it would be no problem. The car was chugging and then it stopped when she reached the the front of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside an hour or so while she was at work. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm very delighted you fixed my vehicle."

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.
