The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Harwich (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will handle the normal problems that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CO12 Postcode - Harwich Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 on a warm Sunday and I was on my way to help an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel well worn Chevrolet Corsica in Harwich. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a backwater road along the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I got to the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel as I had only acquired it a week back because my other car, which I'd used for in excess of thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Essex woman!

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.
