It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf, waiting around for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Charlton and put petrol in her diesel old Fiat lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite easily.
Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.
Wrong Fuel in Car in OX12 Postcode - Charlton Misfueling
A fairly concerned motorist called us from the Shell petrol station at Oxfordshire to inform us that he had put unleaded into his diesel light green Seat Leon; he wasn't actually certain how he'd done it.

He told us; "I am genuinely dumbfounded I put petrol in my diesel car. And the guy who came out to carry out the fuel drain was especially excellent - he didn't make me look like an idiot."

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Charlton
I'm not ever excessively interested in doing work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just come away from the family filled with a lovely dinner made for me by the better half, and I was off to help a fellow after he had filled the wrong petrol in his dad's Audi. He was only in Charlton so it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other things and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused any problems as a result of starting it?" I revealed generally there shouldn't be any damage and that I would personally remove the fuel at once for him. Obviously I drained the fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and then one more pleased motorist could continue on their journey with no hassle. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes working on weekends in Oxfordshire that little bit less painful for me!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Charlton - Fuel Rescue Charlton
A gentleman who had sadly put unleaded in his diesel luxury Jeep Commander contacted us for help at the Shell petrol filling station in Charlton. He thought it would be good to fill up before continuing on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol rather than diesel which wasn't a good beginning to our getaway." It was definitely no hassle in the least for our technical engineer to go along and carry out the fuel drain. We hope everyone had a good holiday break.

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:
- 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.
- 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 VAT receipt.
- 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.
- 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.
