It was just before ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the football rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Bromley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel red Skoda Yeti lease car. She was very distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, as it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Kingston upon Thames done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bromley - Wrong Fuel in Car Bromley

I'd had a wonderful evening fishing during the weekend and felt contented with myself the following day as I was en route to help a new couple who were away in Bromley. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their well worn Cadillac Fleetwood, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman chastising her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place regularly in Kingston upon Thames and that it's nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and thought about what my wife would do to me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
