It was around seven pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and I were resting there talking over the football, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Strood Green and put petrol in a diesel friend's Skoda Yeti rental. She was very troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could find the customer quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and not so worried. A job in Surrey well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank at the back of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Surrey to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations rather swiftly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RH3 Postcode - Strood Green Misfueling

The owner of a clean white Porsche 911 was regretful that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the road and it spluttered and stopped. "I've gone and put the wrong fuel in my diesel vehicle," is what he informed us the initial time he rang. To be truthful, when he initially phoned us he said he would like to comparison shop, but he called us back shortly because our rate and arrival times were the most appropriate. Needless to say, our technician had him performing his deliveries well within the period we had estimated.

We hold full Environment Agency registration and full Insurance intended for your own convenience. Because of over 150 years of combined fuel drain know-how we know how to have the job done - no problem.

I'd had a wonderful evening fishing during my holiday and felt pleased the next working day as I set out to aid a young family who were vacationing in Strood Green. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their maroon Hyundai Excel, and they were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the gal telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing goes on everyday in Surrey and that it's nothing at all to worry about, even so he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted farewell and wondered what my wife would ask me if I made the same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Strood Green

I'm not necessarily overly excited about doing work on weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd just departed home following a magnificent dinner prepared for us by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a fellow who had put the incorrect fuel in his light green Land Rover Freelander II. He was somewhere in Strood Green thus it wasn't long before I reached him. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I inflicted any kind of harm because of driving it?" I explained there should not be problems and that also I'd get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so one more delighted customer was able to continue their trip without the bother. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that can make operating on weekends in Surrey a little easier to me!

This was exactly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 2am and almost noone was around. It was pretty uneventful so far, and me and John were loafing reading through a number of old articles. This was a rare peaceful hour in Surrey. Actually it was in fact that calm that when my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The voice on the phone told me: "I have just ended my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the burgundy red Seat Ibiza in error". I got him to tell us where exactly the car was and we left, arriving in Strood Green no more than half an hour later. The fuel was removed from the motor. He said many thanks for showing up so fast. While we were returning home we found two women at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, to their delight.

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.
