It was just before eight pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! James and I were relaxing there talking over the recent tennis results, ready for the sixth call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Langley Green and put petrol in a diesel teal Ford Galaxie rental. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, because it was only a short distance off from our van, we could find her right away. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in Essex done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of 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 allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were on my way to help an elder lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel well worn Kia Spectra in Langley Green. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and stranded on a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I got to the destination and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I'd only just got it a couple of days back because my previous one, which I had used for over 30 years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Essex woman!

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly sunrise and nobody was around. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and John and I were loafing about browsing some old articles. This was an uncommon restful hour in Essex. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I have ended my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my silver Peugeot Boxer". We instructed him to tell us where the vehicle was and we hit the road, reaching him in Langley Green an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the motor. He said thanks for coming so fast. While we were going back to base we spotted two ladies at the side of the road who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
