It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 8th call that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Wormley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel aunt's Suzuki Vitara lease car by mistake. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was living at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in EN10 Postcode - Wormley Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Saturday and I was en route to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel dark green Mercedes SLK55 AMG in Wormley. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was broken down on a rural lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I got to the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd only purchased it a short while ago after my old one, which I'd used for over thirty years, finally broke down". I got the job completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Hertfordshire woman!

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.
