It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated there talking over the tennis rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in South Hackney and put petrol in a diesel precious Saab lease car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Croydon well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases very quickly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Tales from our own South Hackney technicians:

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

I'm not necessarily too interested in carrying out work on weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after having a magnificent Sunday roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was on the way to help a gentleman who filled the incorrect fuel in his mom's Land Rover Discovery Series II. He was stationed in South Hackney and so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I pulled up at the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my thoughts on something else and did not grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about harm as a result of driving it?" I said that there should not be any damage and also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and then yet another happy client was able to continue on his trip without the need for bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes earning a living on Sundays in Croydon that tiny bit better for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor South Hackney - Fuel Rescue South Hackney

A woman from South Hackney with a full car of kids in her diesel dark red BMW 600 had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that everything should be alright and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the youngsters on board."

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.
