It was after five pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing going over the weekend's sports rankings, ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Widford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel new Saab 9-3 rental car in error. She was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the woman right away.

Out of fuel in Widford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the usual troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.

    • 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.

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.
