Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Hankham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mustard yellow Peugeot 508 rental car. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!"

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!

Out of fuel in Hankham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car. They are also able to take care of the most common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances very simply.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and we were off to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel precious Mitsubishi Outlander in Hankham. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down in a rural lane on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only just bought it a couple of days ago because my former car, which I had for more than twenty five years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful East Sussex woman!

We did a wrong fuel retrieval exercise outside a lovely residence in Hankham recently. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to virtually arrive at home when my car broke down." Our technician went out, even though it was quite late at night, and did a full fuel drain and cleanse on the new Mercedes S-Class .

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was close to sunrise and noone was stirring. It was fairly dead so far, and me and Paul were sitting browsing some old articles. This was a rare quiet moment in East Sussex. It was in fact that peaceful that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The customer explained: "I have only just concluded my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel uncle's Fiat Ulysse". We told him to let us know where exactly he was located and we left, ending up in Hankham half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the motor and he said thanks for coming out so quickly. While we were heading back home we saw two ladies on the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we stopped to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
