It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated talking about the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Ponts Green and put petrol in her diesel light blue Citron DS3 lease car in error. She was very affected apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Ponts Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix the typical troubles which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases quite simply.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Wednesday and we were on my way to help an elder woman who put petrol in her diesel rugged Toyota Cressida in Ponts Green. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped the location in the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was working she said, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had only just bought it a week ago right after my former one, which I'd used for more than twenty years, inevitably died on me". I got the job done and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a delightful East Sussex lady!

I had a great evening hiking during my day off and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I set out to help a new couple who were vacationing in Ponts Green. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their red VW, and were close to an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I listened to the wife telling her partner off for being so stupid. "How could you possibly be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this takes place everyday in East Sussex and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, but he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would personally never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ponts Green

I'm not necessarily overly inclined to working Sundays, and last week was the same. I had just come away from home after a lovely Sunday roast made for me by the wife, and I was off to help a man who filled the incorrect petrol in his rugged BMW 645. He was stationed in Ponts Green therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my concentration on other stuff and didn't realise I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created some problems as a result of running it?" I said that there shouldn't be harm and that I'd get the fuel drained right away. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and so yet another content customer was able to continue on their trip without any bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that can make operating on weekends in East Sussex a tiny bit easier to me!

A young lady working in Ponts Green called us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had filled petrol in her diesel white BMW 8 Series and, like plenty before her, imagined that she could simply fill up the tank with diesel and it would be no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she came to the the front of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed inside 60 minutes while she was in the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely relieved you sorted my car."

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.
