It was around 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the next call of the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Baffins and filled petrol in a diesel husband's Alfa Romeo Spider rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite affected it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could reach the lady without delay.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

A gentleman had stopped near a road in Baffins. His buff Skoda engine had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle.

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather quiet so far, and Paul and I were loafing around reading several old magazines. This was a rare quiet time in Hampshire. Actually it was in fact that calm that when the phone finally rang I leaped! The voice on the opposite end explained: "I only just concluded my night shift and incredibly put petrol in my diesel work's Porsche 911 by mistake". We instructed him to let us know where he was and we set off, arriving in Baffins no more than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said many thanks for getting there so quickly. As we were coming back to base we noticed two girls at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we pulled over and helped them change it, 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.
