It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Broadoak and put petrol in her diesel creamy white Hyundai HED-5 lease car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the customer right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and much less stressed. Another job in Hampshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Broadoak - Wrong Fuel in Car Broadoak

I'd had a fantastic afternoon cycling on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I set off to aid a young family away in Broadoak. They had broken down after adding petrol into their work's Volkswagen Touareg 2, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling her husband off for being so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this happens quite frequently in Hampshire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, but he yet still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

Regardless of whether you're in a brand spanking new vehicle or an older design, we have the hardware as well as know-how to resolve the problem right there. We take out all the incorrect fuel, deal with any troubles caused as a result of the misfueling, and get you going.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Broadoak

I am not actually excessively inclined to doing work Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had just departed the family after having a magnificent dinner made by the missus, and I was off to assist a gentleman because he filled the incorrect petrol in his dark blue Seat Ibiza. He was located in Broadoak therefore it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up behind the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on other things and failed to perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I created some problems through driving it?" I stated there should not be any harm and that also I'd personally drain the fuel immediately. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then another delighted customer was able to continue on his traveling without the hassle. The man did not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Hampshire just that small bit better to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Broadoak - Fuel Rescue Broadoak

A customer employed in Broadoak contacted us as soon as she had tried to get her misfueled car to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel elegant BMW M6 and, like countless before her, assumed that she could just top up her car with diesel and it'd run no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted inside an hour whilst she was at the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm very happy you sorted my vehicle."

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.
