It was about seven pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were sitting discussing the weekend's golf, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Heath Common and filled petrol in her diesel red Renault Megane lease car by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in West Sussex well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Heath Common (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They will deal with any of the normal troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RH20 Postcode - Heath Common Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 am on a warm Saturday and I was off to help an older sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel black BMW Z8 in Heath Common. I'd been told she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and broken down on a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd just got it a few days ago because my former one, which I had had for about 30 years, finally died on me". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a lovely West Sussex lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Heath Common

Now I'm not actually very hot for carrying out work Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had only just departed home after a wonderful lunch made for me by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman after he put the wrong petrol in his beloved Seat Leon. He was located in Heath Common so I was with him rapidly. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on something else and didn't grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused any damage by driving it?" I determined truth be told there probably should not be damage and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another contented motorist could continue their ride without the fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and that tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in West Sussex a little bit better in my opinion!

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.
