It was just before 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting talking over the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the 8th job to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Charlton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel raspberry red Honda CR-V rental in error. The poor lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations pretty easily.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Tuesday and we were on the way to assist an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel aunt's BMW 600 in Charlton. I had been informed she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded on a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only bought it a couple of days ago because my old one, which I had had for more than thirty years, finally gave up the ghost".

Wrong Fuel Assist Charlton - Wrong Fuel in Car Charlton

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a new family who were on vacation in Charlton. They had stopped after putting diesel into their daughter's Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed as I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this happens quite frequently in Surrey and that it is nothing to be anxious about, but he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

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.
