It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Southborough and filled petrol in her diesel canary yellow Dodge Avenger lease car in error. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and much less worried. Yet another job in Bromley well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations rather quickly.
Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Bromley to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Southborough
We not long ago received a call about a young man who had put the wrong fuel in his company's Peugeot 3008 in Southborough. He had come to a stand-still on the road. "After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't recognise the quandary till the time I stopped working. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning . I was happy because of both how fast you were and your value for money". Of course we showed up rapidly and purged the engine after flushing the wrong fuel from the diesel tank.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Southborough - Fuel Rescue Southborough
A customer from Southborough with a full car of little ones in her diesel yellow Peugeot 309 had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She called us crying and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the vehicle would be ok and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we got there she was still upset but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the little ones 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.
