It was just after 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the recent rugby results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Levels Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel beloved Cadillac Eldorado lease car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another job in Essex done well in my opinion!

Run out of fuel in Levels Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They are also able to fix the most common issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases rather simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CM23 Postcode - Levels Green Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! 7:00 on a warm Sunday and I was on the way to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel yellow Ford Focus ST in Levels Green. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and stranded on a country road on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had only got it several days back when my old car, which I had for over twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Essex woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Levels Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Levels Green

I had a fantastic afternoon cycling during the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I set off to help a new family who were holidaying in Levels Green. They'd pulled over after adding diesel into their deep grey VW Eurovan, and the car was around half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing goes on all the time in Essex and that it's in reality nothing at all to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.
