It was about 10 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated going over the recent football, waiting for the seventh job to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Cupernham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel clean white Cadillac STS rental in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the lady without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Hampshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

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.
