It was around ten pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there discussing the footy rankings, ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Norbiton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel racing green Kia Carens lease car. The poor thing was rather affected apparently, saying "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things often happen. She managed to get the car into a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could reach her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Merton well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in case you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made out of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It tends to be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with AdBlue in your tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you find yourself in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Norbiton

We not too long ago had a phone call from a guy who had put the wrong fuel in his yellow Isuzu i-370 in Norbiton. He had broken down on the street. "I couldn't believe how rapid you were in sending an engineer out to assist me when I filled my car with the wrong fuel. I'm very grateful". As you can imagine we arrived on the scene rapidly and flushed the engine after draining all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank.

It truly was an unsociable time to be awake. It was about 3:30 in the morning and noone was about. It had become rather quiet up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing browsing a number of old articles. This was an unusual peaceful hour in Merton. Actually it was so tranquil that when the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The customer told me: "I've concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a bright yellow Mercedes-Benz C-Class by mistake". I told him to inform us where exactly he was and we set off, getting to him in Norbiton only half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he said thanks for coming out so promptly. As we were heading back home we found two ladies on the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled up to change it, much 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.
