It was around six pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were relaxing there discussing the recent tennis results, ready for the 6th job that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Furners Green and filled petrol in her diesel brother's Seat Alhumbra lease car in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady right away. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and not so stressed. Yet another job in East Sussex well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Furners Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Furners Green

I'd had a wonderful evening hiking on my off day and felt contented with myself the following day as I set out to assist a new family who were vacationing in Furners Green. They conked out after adding petrol in their boss' Isuzu i-370, and the car was approximately an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal chastising her spouse for actually being so daft. "How could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs quite frequently in East Sussex and that it is nothing at all to worry about, however he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and wondered what my missus would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Furners Green

Now I am not actually overly interested in doing work weekends, and the other day was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after eating a tasty lunch made for me by the better half, and I was en route to help a guy who put the incorrect fuel in his sunflower yellow Cadillac Catera. He was stationed in Furners Green thus I was with him quickly. Just as I pulled up behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on stuff and did not ascertain I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on problems through running it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be harm and that I'd personally remove the wrong fuel at once. Obviously I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and so another satisfied motorist had the ability to continue their traveling without the need for bother. He did not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make operating on Sundays in East Sussex just that little bit easier 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.
