The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Derbyshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in S41 Postcode - Chesterfield Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Sunday and I was on my way to help an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Land Rover Discovery in Chesterfield. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded in a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location in the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I had only just got it a week back when my old car, which I had had for over twenty years, finally stopped working". I got the job done and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Derbyshire lady!

I had a great day fishing during my off day and was feeling pleased the next working day as I set off to aid a new family who were away in Chesterfield. They broken down after putting petrol into their light green Cadillac CTS-V, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I heard to the girl berating her man for being so silly. "How could you even be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this occurs quite frequently in Derbyshire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyways, I drained all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would never 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.
