It was close to 8 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were seated discussing the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Moorgate and put the wrong fuel in her diesel expensive Renault Megane lease car. The poor thing was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car in EC2Y Postcode - Moorgate Misfueling

A young lady had broken down on a street, Moorgate having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was sobbing and quite troubled as she had put £40 petrol in her diesel car. When she contacted us we tried to calm her as best we could, encouraging her that everything would be okay. By the time we reached her she was no longer disrupted and was rather interested in observing our fuel drainer do the fuel drain on her cobalt blue Volvo S90.

I'm terribly happy that it was very easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel Assist Moorgate - Wrong Fuel in Car Moorgate

I appreciated a fantastic day cycling on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I headed out to aid a young couple who were away in Moorgate. They stopped after adding petrol in their bright red Mercedes CLK-Class, and the car was around an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I listened to the lady telling off her spouse for being so daft. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this situation happens on a regular basis in Lambeth and that it is nothing to stress about, and yet he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved farewell and considered what my missus would say to me if I made the same mistake... I would never 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.
