It was just before 8 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were seated there going over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Abinger Common and put petrol in her diesel grey BMW 7 Series rental. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things can happen. She was able to get the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and much less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Abinger Common (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your automobile. They will fix any of the usual problems which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Surrey we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to start the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Should you get in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and we were en route to assist an older lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel faithful Volkswagen Eurovan in Abinger Common. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane along the way to visit her family. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I reached the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she told me, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel since I had only purchased it several days back because my other one, which I'd had for in excess of thirty years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Surrey woman!

I'd had a wonderful afternoon cycling during my holiday and felt contented with myself the next working day as I set out to help a new couple who were vacationing in Abinger Common. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their navy blue VW Tiguan, and were about an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this happens continuously in Surrey and that it's really absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good-bye and considered what my missus would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Abinger Common

We fairly recently had a phone call about a driver who put the incorrect fuel in his khaki green Dodge Colt in Abinger Common. He had broken down on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the dilemma before I ground to a halt. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it functioning again. I was happy by both how swift you were and your price". Needless to say we showed up promptly and flushed the engine after flushing the petrol from the diesel tank. The client was pleased as punch by the time we were done and he was able to drive off happy.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly 2:30am and nobody was stirring. It had been rather dead until now, and me and John were loafing looking at a couple of old magazines. This was an uncommon calm time in Surrey. It was in fact so calm that when my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The person stated: "I have only just completed my night shift and stupidly put petrol in a diesel metallic green Audi S8 by mistake". I asked him to inform us exactly where the car was and we hit the road, reaching him in Abinger Common under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was removed from the engine. He said many thanks for coming out so quickly. While we were going back home we found two young ladies on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Accordingly we got out 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 VAT 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.
