It was just before 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting there discussing the recent footy, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Ray Street and put the wrong fuel in a diesel rugged Hyundai HED-5 rental car by mistake. She was fairly affected apparently, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Lewisham done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases rather quickly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in EC4P Postcode - Ray Street Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Wednesday and we were off to assist an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel bright yellow Mercedes Sprinter 3500 in Ray Street. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and was stranded on a backwater road en route to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I got to the car and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had just purchased it a short while back because my former one, which I owned for about twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Lewisham woman!

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.
