It was about 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's sports, at the ready for the next call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Blackbrook and put the wrong fuel in her diesel brother's Jaguar S-Type lease car. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying at the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Derbyshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

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.
