It was after 7 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and me were seated there talking about the recent tennis results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Thorpe Lea and filled petrol in her diesel rugged Volvo XC90 lease car by mistake. The poor lady was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure space and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. One more job in Surrey done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Thorpe Lea (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle the normal issues that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases rather easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

This was exactly an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to dawn and noone was around. It was pretty dead up to now, and me and Ray were loafing about reading a number of old papers. That was a rare calm hour in Surrey. Actually it was in fact that calm that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I leaped! The motorist explained: "I completed my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in the bright red Kia Soul by mistake". I got him to inform us exactly where the car was situated and we set off, arriving in Thorpe Lea under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us profusely for getting there so rapidly. While we were heading back to the depot we found two young ladies on the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we stopped 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.
