It was after 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were sitting discussing the weekend's sports, waiting for the 8th call to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in The Rocks and filled petrol in a diesel maroon Austin Mini Cooper hire car in error. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly happen. She was able to move the car into a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly simply.
Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

A somewhat alarmed customer phoned us from the BP petrol station at Gloucestershire to inform us that he had put unleaded into his diesel rust red Seat Exeo; he wasn't exactly certain how he'd managed to do it.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car The Rocks
A teenager who had only just got his licence had misfueled his mum's Jeep Cherokee by having unleaded in the diesel car at the filling station close to The Rocks. He said, "This is only the second occasion I have fueled my vehicle from the time when I paid for it and I do not know what to do." He was also afraid since his step father had just paid for the car. He located us on the net and so called us instantly, scared about what he should do. Our man on the telephones explained to him that we would be on scene in forty-five minutes and to not start the car while waiting. We carried out the fuel drain on his vehicle and he stated how astonished he was it was addressed so quickly and with not much complication at all.

This was certainly what is called the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was around. It had become fairly quiet until now, and me and Ray were sitting perusing a number of old papers. That was an unusual calm hour in Gloucestershire. It was indeed so peaceful that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The customer told me: "I only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel light green Dodge Avenger in error". I told him to tell us where he was located and we headed out, reaching him in The Rocks not as much as half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us for showing up so fast. While we were coming back to base we found two young ladies at the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Obviously we got out to help them 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
