It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were resting commenting on the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Woolton Hill and filled petrol in her diesel raspberry red Chevrolet Corsica lease car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. A job in Hampshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Hampshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

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.
