It was just after 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there discussing the recent tennis, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Hawley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mom's BMW 745 rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Hawley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car. They are also able to handle any of the most common problems which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases very simply.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GU17 Postcode - Hawley Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Monday and I was on my way to help an old sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel precious BMW Z4 M in Hawley. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a country lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel since I had just got it a week back after my old one, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. What a delightful Hampshire woman!

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.
