It was about ten pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there discussing the tennis, prepared for the 8th call that day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Warningcamp and put petrol in a diesel expensive Audi RS4 lease car by mistake. She was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!"

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in West Sussex to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is going to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BN18 Postcode - Warningcamp Misfueling

A customer had stopped on a road, Warningcamp having just misfueled. She was sobbing and fairly troubled as she had put £42 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we tried to calm her as best we could, assuring her that everything would be no problem. By the time we reached her she was not upset any more and was very curious in observing our technician perform the fuel drain on her metallic blue Range Rover Classic. Soon after she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I only recently purchased it and so it genuinely concerned me that I had put such an abundance of wrong fuel in it. I'm really gratified that it was easily fixable."

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a new couple who were away in Warningcamp. They stopped after inserting petrol into their green BMW 5 Series, and were close to an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in West Sussex and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he yet still had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove off I mouthed goodbye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of 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.
