It was just before six pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting talking about the footy, at the ready for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in East Liss and filled petrol in her diesel stylish Fiat Multipla hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and much less worried. One more job in Hampshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you have put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made out of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the technical expertise and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Hampshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU33 Postcode - East Liss Misfueling

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on my way to help an older lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint green Lexus LS in East Liss. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up along a backwater road along the way to see her godchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I had only got it a short while ago because my former one, which I had had for in excess of 30 years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Hampshire woman!

Last week a man telephoned us just after his metallic yellow Subaru Impreza WRX died on a street in East Liss. He had mistakenly put unleaded in the diesel car and got as far as the street before being forced to stop. It was actually early in the day and our fuel drainer, who stays locally, arrived with him in about twenty minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle.

We performed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise on the drive of a lovely residential home in East Liss not so long ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to virtually get home when my car cut out." Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was pretty late at night, and completed a thorough fuel drain and cleanse on the racing green Isuzu i-Series .

Wrong Fuel Doctor East Liss - Fuel Rescue East Liss

A customer from East Liss with a full car of kids in her diesel father's Seat Mii had put £45 of petrol at the service station. She called us sobbing and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be ready to go in no time at all. When we got there she was still upset but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the children in the back."

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.

Commonplace Wrong Fuel Symptoms:

This is a list of the most common wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Diminished engine power
