It was after 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Hangersley and put petrol in a diesel modified Honda Civic Si hire car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from us, we could find her without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Hangersley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They are also able to handle any of the typical troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases rather expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Wednesday and we were on my way to help an old woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright red Mazda B2600 in Hangersley. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a backwater road on route to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel because I'd only just acquired it a few days back after my old one, which I'd used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually broke down". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Hampshire lady!

A woman driving in Hangersley contacted us after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel blue BMW 750 and, like countless before her, assumed that she could just top up the car with diesel and it would run okay. The car was spluttering and then it stopped when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted in 60 minutes while she was at the office. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely glad you repaired my car."

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.
