It was about 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting going over the weekend's footy, at the ready for the 8th job that day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Stapleford Tawney and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mate's Toyota Land Cruiser hire car in error. She was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Essex done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Sunday and I was off to help an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel uncle's Audi Q7 in Stapleford Tawney. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and broken down in a country lane en route to see her family. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I turned up at the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel since I'd only just acquired it a couple of days back because my old one, which I owned for about twenty years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Essex lady!

It truly was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and nobody was about. It had been quite quiet up to now, and Ray and I were sitting perusing a number of old magazines. This was an unusual tranquil hour in Essex. It was in fact so peaceful that the instant the phone ultimately rang I jumped! The customer explained: "I just completed my night shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in the racing green Range Rover by mistake". I instructed him to tell us where exactly he was located and we set off, reaching him in Stapleford Tawney less than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. While we were heading back to base we spotted two young women on the side of the street who looked like they had a puncture. So we pulled over to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
