It was just before seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were resting talking over the recent golf results, waiting for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Stewards Green and put petrol in her diesel old Nissan Pathfinder rental car by mistake. The poor lady was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Essex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel may well trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Stewards Green

I'm certainly not excessively interested in running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just left home following a wonderful roast made for me by the missus, and I was off to help a gentleman because he filled the incorrect fuel in his baby blue Vauxhall Combo. He was somewhere in Stewards Green and so I was there almost immediately. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank God! I had my concentration on stuff and did not realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created problems as a result of starting it?" I explained that generally there probably should not be any kind of problems and that also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and one more contented customer was able to continue their journey without the need for hassle. The guy did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what can make carrying out work on weekends in Essex just a tiny bit better in my opinion!

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.
