It was before 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there going over the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Buttsbury and filled petrol in a diesel cobalt blue Daihatsu Charade lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and not so stressed. Another job in Essex well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Essex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Buttsbury - Wrong Fuel in Car Buttsbury

I had a terrific evening fishing during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I headed out to assist a young couple away in Buttsbury. They'd stopped after inserting diesel in their daughter's Audi A5, and were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place everyday in Essex and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. While they drove away I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!

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.
