It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were resting there going over the football results, waiting around for the next telephone call to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Budletts Common and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel faithful Hyundai Equus rental car. She was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, since it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and not so concerned. A job in East Sussex done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Budletts Common (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your automobile. They can also deal with the typical problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Wednesday and I was en route to help an elder sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel pristine Renault Laguna in Budletts Common. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a country lane along the way to see her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd only purchased it a week back when my previous one, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious East Sussex woman!

And so, in case you've topped up your petrol car with diesel, or put the wrong fuel in your diesel motor vehicle wherever in East Sussex, phone us right now. Our professional technicians are ready and waiting for your call.

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.
