It was just before 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and me were resting talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the sixth job to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in West Norwood and put the wrong fuel in her diesel light green Honda Accord lease car by mistake. The poor lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could find her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Lambeth well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SE27 Postcode - West Norwood Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were on the way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel well worn Mitsubishi Endeavor in West Norwood. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and pulled up along a country road en route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel as I had just acquired it several days ago right after my former car, which I'd used for about thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Lambeth lady!

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.
