It was close to ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting commenting on the weekend's footy, ready for the next call that day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in South Kensington and filled petrol in her diesel deep grey Kia Carens hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in Kensington and Chelsea done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel may well trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SW7 Postcode - South Kensington Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Saturday and I was off to assist an old woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel pristine Volvo V50 in South Kensington. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and broken down in a backwater lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel since I'd only just acquired it a short while back because my former one, which I had used for about 25 years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a delightful Kensington and Chelsea lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist South Kensington - Wrong Fuel in Car South Kensington

I enjoyed a great evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling pleased the following morning as I set out to help a young family away in South Kensington. They had broken down after inserting the wrong fuel in their father's BMW 545, and they were close to half an hour away. I showed up at their location and smiled as I heard to the woman berating her partner for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this happens all the time in Kensington and Chelsea and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my wife would do to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would personally under no circumstances 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.
