It was just before 7 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the football results, ready for the seventh job that day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Shedfield and filled petrol in her diesel sombre grey Vauxhall Zafira lease car in error. The poor lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Shedfield (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the standard troubles which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather simply.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

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.
