It was after 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the recent sports results, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Aldingbourne and put the wrong fuel in her diesel shiny Cadillac Escalade ESV lease car by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to get the car to a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. A job in West Sussex well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Aldingbourne (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the most common issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to address in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations very easily.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in PO20 Postcode - Aldingbourne Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Saturday and I was en route to help an elder woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel cream Chevrolet Colorado in Aldingbourne. She told us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up in a backwater road on route to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I arrived at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd just purchased it a short while back after my old one, which I'd owned for more than twenty years, finally stopped working". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely West Sussex lady!

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.
