Local Call-Out and Roadside Repair in Lambeth

Petrol in your diesel car in Elephant and Castle? You've reached the right place. We aim to help you in your time of need and get you going once more with our expert fuel drain service.

It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were seated there talking about the recent footy results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Elephant and Castle and put petrol in a diesel new-shape Land Rover Discovery rental car. The poor lady was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and less apprehensive. A job in Lambeth done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

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.
