It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent golf results, at the ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Loughton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark blue BMW 7 Series hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, as it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. Another job in Essex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances quite simply.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in IG10 Postcode - Loughton Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were en route to assist an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel trusty Mazda B2000 in Loughton. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was pulled up along a rural road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was working she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only just got it a couple of days back because my old car, which I'd had for about twenty years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Essex lady!

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.
