It was close to ten pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there going over the rugby rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Southbourne and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel boss' Renault Espace hire car in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure position and, since it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. A job in West Sussex well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances very simply.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Southbourne - Fuel Rescue Southbourne

This really was what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was close to 2 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful up to now, and me and Ryan were sitting about looking at several old papers. This was an unusual restful time in West Sussex. Actually it was in fact so calm that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The person on the phone stated: "I've just concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a shiny Toyota Yaris". I told him to let us know where exactly he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Southbourne not as much as half an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. While we were going back to the depot we saw two girls on the edge of the street who seemed like they had a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, much to their elation.

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.
