We're merely a call away.

It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were resting going over the weekend's footy, waiting around for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Charlton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel elegant Suzuki Sidekick lease car by mistake. The poor lady was quite irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the customer right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Surrey well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank will bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

A lady had come to a halt on a street, Charlton just after having misfueled. She was weeping and fairly distressed as she had put £50 petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we attempted to calm her as well as we could, assuring her that all would be fine. When we arrived with her she was no longer upset and was interested in watching our fuel drainer carry out the fuel drain on her company's Alfa Romeo164.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Charlton

Now I am not necessarily too interested in running Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just left the family after a fantastic roast made for me by the missus, and I was on the way to help a guy because he filled the wrong fuel in his grass green BMW 750. He was located in Charlton thus it wasn't long before I got to him. As I arrived at the rear of the car and got out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on something else and didn't realise I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused any problems simply by running it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be harm and also I'd personally remove the fuel as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and so one more content customer was able to continue their trip without any subsequent fuss. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and that is what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Surrey just that small bit easier in my opinion!

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.
