It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were seated going over the recent football rankings, ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Shalden and put petrol in a diesel clean white Kia Sephia rental car in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things happen. She was able to get the car to a safe space and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

I had appreciated a terrific evening hiking on my off day and felt cheerful the following day as I set out to aid a new family on vacation in Shalden. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their dirty red Hyundai HED-5, and were roughly an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this takes place constantly in Hampshire and that it's in reality nothing to fret about, nevertheless he all the same had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy.

This was what is called the night shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had been pretty quiet until now, and Brian and I were relaxing browsing a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare calm time in Hampshire. Actually it was that relaxing that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer told me: "I completed my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in the daughter's Audi Quattro by mistake". I got him to let us know where the car was located and we headed out, arriving in Shalden only 30 minutes later. The fuel was extracted from the car. He said many thanks for coming out so rapidly. While we were coming back home we noticed two women at the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. So we pulled up to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
