It was close to eight pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Brian and me were resting there discussing the tennis results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in South Beddington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel navy blue Audi A4 hire car in error. The poor thing was somewhat affected apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in Sutton done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will often result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car South Beddington

Now I'm not ever so enthusiastic about doing work Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd only just left the wife and kids following a superb roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was en route to help a man after he filled the wrong fuel in his sombre grey Audi Coupe GT. He was located in South Beddington and so I was there quickly. Just as I arrived at the car and stepped out he told me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on other things and did not realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about any kind of harm because of driving it?" I revealed that truth be told there shouldn't be problems and that I'd get the fuel drained immediately for him. Obviously I drained the fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and one more happy motorist had the ability to continue on his trip without any difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what can make carrying out work on weekends in Sutton that tiny bit less painful in my opinion!

A lady living in South Beddington contacted us shortly after she managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to the office. She had put petrol in her diesel black Cadillac DTS and, like many prior to her, thought that she could basically fill up the tank with diesel and it would be fine. The vehicle was chugging and then it cut out when she reached the the front of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved in an hour whilst she was at the office. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely relieved you repaired my car."

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.
