The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Essex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases very easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RM18 Postcode - West Tilbury Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were off to assist an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel silver Hyundai Genesis in West Tilbury. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded on a rural lane on route to see her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a couple of days back when my old one, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, eventually broke down". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a precious Essex lady!

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.
