It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's football, at the ready for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Osterley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel wife's Peugeot 206 hire car in error. The poor lady was rather irritated apparently, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we could find the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Hounslow done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Hounslow for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Osterley

A teen who had only recently passed his test had misfueled his buff Renault Alliance by getting petrol in his diesel at the station in Osterley. He said, "This is just the third occasion I have fueled my vehicle from the time when I got it and I do not know how to proceed." He was worried because his dad had only just got him the car. He located our company on the net and so called us immediately, worried about what he needed to do. Our person on the phones explained to him that we would be on scene inside 45 minutes and to not do anything to the vehicle while waiting.

A motorist employed in Osterley contacted us as soon as she tried to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel green BMW X5 and, like plenty before her, imagined that she would be able to basically top up the tank with diesel and it'd run fine. The car was coughing and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside an hour while she was in the office. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm really glad you repaired my vehicle."

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.
