It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were seated discussing the recent football, ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Chertsey Meads and put petrol in a diesel bright yellow Volkswagen Tiguan rental. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Richmond upon Thames well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in case you may have put AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is composed of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is definitely disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in KT16 Postcode - Chertsey Meads Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Wednesday and I was off to assist an old sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel mint condition BMW Z4 M in Chertsey Meads. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and was stranded in a country lane on route to visit her family. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she told me, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I had only just purchased it a week back because my former car, which I had had for in excess of twenty years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Richmond upon Thames woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Chertsey Meads - Wrong Fuel in Car Chertsey Meads

I'd had a great afternoon golfing on my off day and felt delighted the following day as I set out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Chertsey Meads. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their metallic blue Peugeot 106, and were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I listened to the gal berating her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this situation takes place constantly in Richmond upon Thames and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, however he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
