It was close to 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there going over the tennis results, ready for the 6th job that day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Cuckoos Corner and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel boss' Porsche Boxster hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU34 Postcode - Cuckoos Corner Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a gloomy Wednesday and we were en route to help an older lovely lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel metallic silver BMW M3 in Cuckoos Corner. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a rural lane along the way to see her family. I popped her location into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd just acquired it a few days back when my former car, which I had had for over twenty years, eventually broke down". I finished the job and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Hampshire lady!

We are fully licenced and covered with insurance and so you are aware the motor vehicle is in safe hands. We have the ability to take care of virtually all car models without regard to if they have been started on the wrong fuel or just misfueled.

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.
