It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting there going over the recent golf rankings, waiting for the next job that day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Martyrs Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel luxury Honda CR-X hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was just a short distance off from our van, we could get to her swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and much less concerned. Another job in Merton well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases quite easily.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in KT11 Postcode - Martyrs Green Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Monday and we were off to help an older lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel aunt's Cadillac XLR-V in Martyrs Green. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down along a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd just acquired it a short while ago after my previous car, which I had had for in excess of 25 years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Merton woman!

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.
