It was just before 8 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were seated commenting on the recent golf, waiting for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in The High and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey Isuzu i-370 lease car in error. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CM20 Postcode - The High Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were en route to assist an old lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel green Lexus IS in The High. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a rural lane en route to see her family. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I reached the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she told me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel since I had only just bought it a few days back after my former one, which I used for more than 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Essex woman!

Wrong Fuel Doctor The High - Fuel Rescue The High

It truly was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had become pretty quiet so far, and me and Mark were loafing about reading several old newspapers. This was a rare calm hour in Essex. It was in fact that tranquil that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end told me: "I have ended my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in the diesel apricot Cadillac SRX in error". I told him to let us know exactly where he was located and we headed out, ending up in The High not as much as an hour or so later. The fuel was removed from the motor and he said many thanks for coming so rapidly. While we were returning home we spotted two women at the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
