It was close to ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were seated there talking about the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the next job to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Woodley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey Peugeot 508 rental in error. The unfortunate lady was very agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at her right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Woodley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to handle the typical issues that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations fairly easily.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

This really was the night shift. It was close to 2:30am and noone was around. It was fairly quiet up to now, and me and Ray were relaxing reading through a number of old newspapers. It was a rare peaceful time in Hampshire. It was indeed that calm that when the telephone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist stated: "I have concluded my night shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a diesel mate's Seat Ibiza by mistake". I asked him to let us know exactly where he was located and we hit the road, ending up in Woodley only half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he said thank you for coming so promptly. While we were coming back to base we saw two ladies on the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. 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.
