It was just after 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there commenting on the rugby, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Sunnymede and put the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Saab 9000 hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and less concerned. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Essex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

A person rang us from his house on a road in Sunnymede. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a beautiful Cadillac Allante) is not starting up and is creating dreadful noises when I turn the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Sunnymede

We fairly recently got a phone call from a motorist who put the wrong fuel in his sunflower yellow Hyundai Equus in Sunnymede. He had conked out on the road. "I was surprised at how rapid you guys were in having a fuel drainer out to assist me when I mistakenly petrol in my diesel. Thank you so much". Naturally we showed up rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived the technician said the motorist was raging, but was very happy when we finished.

A customer working in Sunnymede phoned us after she tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red BMW 600 and, like many before her, thought that she would be able to just top up her car with diesel and it'd run okay. The engine was spluttering and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed within 60 minutes whilst she was at the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm very relieved you sorted my car."

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.
