It was just before 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were seated there discussing the recent sports, ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Dalston and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel old Fiat Scudo hire car. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could get to the lady without delay.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Greenwich to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Dalston

I am not overly excited about running on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just left the family filled with a lovely dinner made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a man after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his pristine Vauxhall Insignia. He was stationed in Dalston hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived behind the car and got out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my concentration on something else and failed to grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted damage simply by running it?" I revealed that there probably should not be any kind of harm and that I would drain the fuel immediately. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and so yet another pleased customer had the ability to continue on their ride without the hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes operating on Sundays in Greenwich just a tiny bit better to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Dalston - Fuel Rescue Dalston

A woman from Dalston with her kids in her diesel well worn Volvo V40 had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the station. She called us sobbing and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything should be alright and that she would be on the road quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the kids on board."

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.
