It was just before 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing there talking over the football rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Putney and put petrol in her diesel khaki green Mercedes Sprinter 2500 rental. The poor thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Wandsworth done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you may have put AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is certainly devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel Assist Putney - Wrong Fuel in Car Putney

I'd had a wonderful evening hiking during my holiday and felt contented the following working day as I set off to help a young couple who were holidaying in Putney. They had conked out after putting petrol into their dark blue Lexus IS-F, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass all the time in Wandsworth and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and wondered what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the exact same error... I'd never hear the end of it!

A lady from Putney with a full car of kids in her diesel bright white Seat Mii had put £40 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She contacted us sobbing and extremely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what would happen to her car . We reassured her that all would be alright and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked.

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.
