It was close to five pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting commenting on the rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh job for the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Berrys Green and put petrol in her diesel red Audi R8 rental car. The unfortunate lady was very irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Bromley well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases quite simply.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Bromley to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

This really was what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and nobody was around. It had been quite dead thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting about reading some old papers. This was a rare tranquil hour in Bromley. It was so quiet that when my mobile eventually rang I leaped! The motorist explained: "I only just completed my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my apricot Volvo XC60 in error". I instructed him to tell us exactly where he was and we headed out, ending up in Berrys Green not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He thanked us for arriving so promptly. As we were heading back to base we found two young ladies on the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we pulled up to change it, to their delight.

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 VA 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.
