It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated there talking about the recent tennis results, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Farlington and put petrol in a diesel husband's Daihatsu Charade lease car. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another job in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Run out of fuel in Farlington (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to fix the common issues that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations rather expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

I had a perfect day cycling on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to help a new couple who were on holiday in Farlington. They conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their metallic grey Hyundai Equus, and the car was roughly an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal berating her man for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this problem takes place quite frequently in Hampshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I drained all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good bye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

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.

• 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.
