To tell the truth, we are the company to help you!

It was about five pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the golf rankings, waiting for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Burgates and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mum's Vauxhall Combo rental in error. The poor thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach her without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

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


Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank laying at the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Hampshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Burgates

A young person who had only just passed his driving test had wrong fueled his teal Daihatsu Rocky by getting unleaded in the diesel vehicle at the petrol station in Burgates. He said, "This is only the third occasion I have fueled my car from the time when I bought it and I do not know how to proceed." He was also afraid since his father had only just paid for the car. He found us on the internet and so called it without delay, frightened about what he should do. Our guy on the call advised him that we would be on scene inside 45 minutes and to not do anything to the vehicle while waiting. We finished the fuel drain on his car and he stated how surprised he was that it was taken care of so rapidly and with not much consequence .

This was certainly the night shift. It was around sunrise and noone was around. It had become quite uneventful so far, and me and Mark were relaxing perusing several old articles. This was an uncommon calm hour in Hampshire. Actually it was indeed so calm that when the phone rang it made me start! The voice on the phone explained: "I have just finished my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a apricot Peugeot 306 by mistake". I got him to inform us where exactly he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Burgates under an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine. He said many thanks for arriving so quickly. As we were going back to the depot we noticed two women on the edge of the road who seemed to have a puncture. 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.
