It was around six pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting there talking about the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the seventh call to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in St Helier and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel blue Hyundai Scoupe hire car by mistake. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, because it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was living in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and less worried. One more misfuel correction in Sutton done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Sutton to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car St Helier

It must be horrible being stranded in a vehicle running on the improper fuel in the middle of the road. One of our last customers who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (dirty red Honda CR-X) in St Helier endured literally this type of headache: "Obviously I foolishly filled my petrol car with diesel last week. I was so concerned about my mistake that I was besides myself. However I shouldn't have concerned myself seeing as you were fantastic in resolving it."

This was certainly what we call the night shift. It was about 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had become quite dead up to now, and me and John were loafing reading through several old articles. It was an unusual calm time in Sutton. Actually it was that relaxing that the moment my mobile eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the other end stated: "I've only just ended my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in my yellow Hyundai Accent in error". We asked him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was and we set off, reaching him in St Helier only half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for showing up so promptly. As we were returning home we noticed two women at the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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.
