It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there going over the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Strettington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel pristine Nissan Murano lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in West Sussex done well in my mind!

We will get out to refill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the normal issues that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel can easily cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Remember that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PO18 Postcode - Strettington Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Saturday and I was off to assist an old lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel compact Ford C-MAX Hybrid in Strettington. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a country road on route to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only purchased it a few days back right after my previous car, which I'd owned for over 25 years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant West Sussex lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Strettington - Wrong Fuel in Car Strettington

I appreciated a great day golfing on my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a new couple on vacation in Strettington. They had pulled over after inserting petrol in their customised Dodge Avenger, and were around an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for being so daft. "How could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this happens on daily basis in West Sussex and that it's nothing to stress about, however he still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never 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.
