She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Essex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly simply.

You should know that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Crays Hill

Now I'm not necessarily so hot for carrying out work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left home following a tasty lunch made for us by the missus, and I was en route to assist a man after he had filled the wrong fuel in his maroon Cadillac Escalade. He was located in Crays Hill thus I arrived on scene before long. Just as I pulled up behind the car and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I had my attention on other considerations and didn't grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created any harm as a result of starting it?" I said there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I'd personally get the fuel drained at once for him. Obviously I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with the suitable fuel, and so yet another happy motorist was able to continue his journey without the need for fuss. He could not stop thanking me, and that is actually what can make operating on weekends in Essex just a small bit easier for me personally!

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.
