It was before seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there going over the footy rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Pitch Place and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel raspberry red Volvo850 rental in error. The poor thing was rather affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could get to the lady quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Surrey we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU8 Postcode - Pitch Place Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and I was off to assist an older woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel new Peugeot 505 in Pitch Place. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd only purchased it a short while back because my former one, which I used for about 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Surrey lady!

We have technical engineers available in the local area completely ready and waiting to turn up and empty your vehicle of the incorrect fuel or polluted fuel. We work 24/7 every day of the year.

Yesterday a motorist contacted us when his matte black Peugeot 505 ground to a halt in the middle of a street in Pitch Place. He had by accident put unleaded in his diesel car and was only able to drive so far as the road before needing to pull up. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who resides locally, got to him in about 15 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Pitch Place

We a few weeks ago got a phone call about a man who put the wrong fuel in his beloved Cadillac Brougham in Pitch Place. He had broken down on the street. "It was incredible how quick you guys were in having somebody out to help me when I mistakenly filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you ever so much". As you can imagine we showed up promptly and flushed the engine after draining all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival our technician said the client was fuming, but was very happy when we finished.

This was the night shift. It was close to 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had become quite quiet up to now, and me and Ryan were sitting perusing several old papers. This was an uncommon tranquil hour in Surrey. Actually it was so peaceful that when the telephone inevitably rang I jumped! The voice said: "I only just finished my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in a baby blue Isuzu Impulse in error". I told him to let us know where the vehicle was located and we set off, ending up in Pitch Place less than an hour later. The fuel was removed from the engine. He thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. While we were coming back home we spotted two young women on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. Accordingly we got out to change it, much to their delight.

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.
