It was just before seven pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent football rankings, waiting around for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Cole Park and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Volvo V70 lease car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to find her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in Richmond upon Thames done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty easily.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Richmond upon Thames for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TW1 Postcode - Cole Park Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and we were en route to help an older woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel modern Toyota Cressida in Cole Park. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she said to me, "I am becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel since I had only just acquired it a week ago right after my previous one, which I owned for about twenty years, eventually died on me". I completed the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Richmond upon Thames woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Cole Park - Wrong Fuel in Car Cole Park

I had a fantastic afternoon fishing during my day off and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to aid a young family who were on holiday in Cole Park. They pulled over after adding diesel in their bright red Volkswagen Passat, and they were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed as I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this happens constantly in Richmond upon Thames and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted good bye and thought about what my missus would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever 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.
