It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were sitting commenting on the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Banstead and put petrol in her diesel daughter's Mercedes R-Class hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure spot and, because it was only a few miles from the office, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in Surrey well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather simply.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SM7 Postcode - Banstead Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Saturday and we were en route to assist an elder woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mate's Seat Mii in Banstead. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a rural lane en route to visit her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only just bought it a week ago right after my former one, which I had owned for more than thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Surrey 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 VAT 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.
