It happens to the best of us. You’re in a rush at the Sainsbury’s pump, the kids are distracting you in the back seat, or you’ve just switched from a company car to a personal one.


You reach for the nozzle, start clicking, and suddenly—cold sweat. You realize you’ve just put petrol into a diesel engine (or vice versa).


If you’re currently stranded at a petrol station in Chelmsford, Colchester, or anywhere in the Essex countryside, take a deep breath. Misfuelled Car Fixer Essex is on the way.


What to Do Right Now


Before you do anything else, follow these three steps to protect your engine:

  1. Do NOT start the engine: Even turning the ignition can pull the wrong fuel into the system.
  2. Leave the keys out: Don’t even put them in the "on" position.
  3. Call us immediately: The sooner we drain it, the less chance of internal damage.


Our "Anywhere, Anytime" Rescue Services


We provide 24/7 mobile fuel drainage across the entire county. Whether you're near the M25, the A12, or stuck in your own driveway, our technicians are equipped to handle:

  • Petrol in Diesel Car: The most common mistake. We drain the tank, flush the lines, and get you moving before the high-pressure fuel pump sustains damage.
  • Diesel in Petrol Engine: It’s harder to do because of the nozzle size, but it happens! We’ll clear the heavy diesel out so your spark plugs can fire again.
  • AdBlue in Diesel Tank: This is a silent engine killer. AdBlue is not a fuel; it’s a urea-based solution that can crystallize and ruin your fuel system. Do not move the car—we have specialist equipment to decontaminate AdBlue errors on the spot.

From the dartford crossing to the fringes of Suffolk, we cover:

Colchester | Witham | Chelmsford | Southend-on-Sea | Basildon | Harlow | Brentwood | Braintree | Epping Forest | Maldon
