It was about 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and me were resting there discussing the rugby results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Emery Down and put the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Hyundai rental in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from us, we could arrive at the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Emery Down (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They will fix any of the normal issues which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations very expediently.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely 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.
