It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there going over the sports rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Forest Gate and put the wrong fuel in a diesel blue Ford Escort lease car. The poor lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and not so stressed.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Forest Gate - Wrong Fuel in Car Forest Gate

I enjoyed a fantastic evening golfing on my off day and was feeling contented the following day as I set out to assist a young couple on holiday in Forest Gate. They'd stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their brother's Volvo740, and were about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the wife berating her man for turning out to be so confused. "How could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this situation takes place on daily basis in Southwark and that it is nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same had an earful by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I drained all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved good bye and wondered what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

This was certainly what is called the graveyard shift. It was around 3 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had become quite uneventful up to now, and me and Ryan were sitting about reading a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare peaceful time in Southwark. It was indeed so calm that when the telephone inevitably rang I jumped! The motorist stated: "I have just completed my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in a friend's Honda". We asked him to inform us where he was and we headed out, ending up in Forest Gate under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thank you for showing up so promptly. As we were coming back to base we noticed two women at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
