It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were seated talking about the rugby rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Beddington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mint condition Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 rental by mistake. She was very affected apparently, crying "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from us, we could find her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Sutton done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Sutton we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to start up the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Beddington

Now I am not too enthusiastic about carrying out work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just left the wife and kids filled with a tasty Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was off to help a gentleman who had filled the wrong fuel in his daughter's Mitsubishi Excel. He was stationed in Beddington therefore I arrived with him soon. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I had my attention on something else and did not grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought about any harm through driving it?" I explained that there probably should not be any kind of harm and that also I would remove the wrong fuel quickly for him. It goes without saying that I drained the fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and then one more contented client could continue his trip without any subsequent hassle. The guy could not stop thanking me, and that is what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Sutton just that small bit better in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Beddington - Fuel Rescue Beddington

A woman from Beddington with a full car of children in her diesel expensive BMW X3 had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She called us weeping and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that all should be fine and that she would be on the road very quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the kids on board."

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.
