It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the recent football results, waiting for the next job for the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Camberwell and filled petrol in a diesel grass green Hyundai Accent rental. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated apparently, stating "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at her swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and less worried. Another job in Southwark well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Southwark we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of people not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. If you have started the car you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

In case you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I had a perfect day fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling contented the following day as I set off to aid a young family away in Camberwell. They had stopped after inserting diesel in their modified Cadillac Catera, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this problem takes place continuously in Southwark and that it's in reality nothing at all to fret about, but he yet still got his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyhow, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed good bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same mistake... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around 2am and nobody was stirring. It was fairly uneventful thus far, and me and John were sitting reading through a few old papers. That was an unusual tranquil moment in Southwark. It was indeed so calm that when the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist stated: "I have only just concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel faithful Kia Sephia". I told him to inform us just where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, getting to him in Camberwell not as much as an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor and he said thank you for getting there so quickly. As we were going back to the depot we saw two young women on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result 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 VA 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.
