It was just before five pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were resting talking over the rugby rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in High Beach and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark red Vauxhall Signum hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. A job in Essex well done in my opinion!

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


AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you have poured AdBlue in your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made from a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It tends to be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you end up in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the technical competence and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IG10 Postcode - High Beach Misfueling

What a quality night's sleep! 7:00 on a warm Tuesday and I was off to assist an elder sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel friend's Lexus IS in High Beach. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a country lane along the way to visit her family. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was working she explained, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel since I'd only got it a couple of days back right after my old car, which I'd owned for about twenty five years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious Essex lady!

We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car High Beach

Now I'm not necessarily too inclined to doing the job Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids filled with a lovely roast made for us by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow after he put the incorrect petrol in his canary yellow Volkswagen Beetle. He was located in High Beach hence I was on scene rapidly. As I arrived at the car and stepped out he told me "Praise God! I incredibly had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted some damage by driving it?" I explained there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I'd get the fuel drained immediately. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then yet another satisfied customer could continue on their traveling without the need for bother. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes earning a living on weekends in Essex that tiny bit less painful to me!

A customer employed in High Beach contacted us as soon as she tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green Vauxhall Bedford and, like many people prior to her, believed that she could simply top up the vehicle with diesel and it would be no problem. The vehicle was coughing and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted in 60 minutes whilst she was at the office. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm very pleased you sorted my vehicle."

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.
