It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated there discussing the golf results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Stanmer and filled petrol in a diesel super Daihatsu Rocky hire car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in East Sussex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BN1 Postcode - Stanmer Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Sunday and I was on the way to help an older lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel mum's Peugeot 309 in Stanmer. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded on a rural road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she explained, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only acquired it a few days back right after my old one, which I'd used for over twenty years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious East Sussex lady!

We completed a wrong fuel retrieval job outside a beautiful residential home in Stanmer a few weeks ago. "I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and was able to virtually get home when my car quit." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was pretty late at night, and completed a fuel drain and purge on the mum's Ford Transit Connect .

This was what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and noone was around. It had been quite quiet until now, and John and I were relaxing browsing several old magazines. That was an unusual peaceful moment in East Sussex. It was so peaceful that the instant the phone rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end said: "I've only just ended my night shift and stupidly put petrol in the new Renault Modus by mistake". We got him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we hit the road, getting to him in Stanmer under an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the engine. He said thanks for showing up so promptly. While we were going back to the depot we saw two women at the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously 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.
