Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases quite swiftly.
Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CR2 Postcode - Sanderstead Misfueling
Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Saturday and we were en route to help an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel dirty red Vauxhall Vivaro in Sanderstead. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and broken down along a backwater lane en route to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I arrived at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she said, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel since I'd just purchased it a short while ago right after my old car, which I'd had for in excess of thirty years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. What a lovely Croydon lady!

He said, "This is the second time I have filled up my car from the time when I bought it and I don't know how to handle it." He was anxious since his father had just recently got him the car. He came across us on the web and so called it immediately, afraid about what he should do.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Sanderstead - Fuel Rescue Sanderstead
A driver from Sanderstead with a full car of little ones in her diesel son's Volvo XC90 had put £20 of petrol at the BP station. She phoned us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be on the road quickly. When we got there she was still upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children in the back."

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
