It was about 7 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring! James and me were relaxing there talking about the weekend's golf results, waiting for the 8th job to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Etwall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Cadillac DTS lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to move the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Etwall (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They will be able to handle any of the common troubles that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Sunday and we were en route to assist an old lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel burgundy red VW Golf in Etwall. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and broken down on a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I got to the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only just purchased it a couple of days back right after my previous car, which I had used for more than twenty years, inevitably died". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Derbyshire woman!

So, if you've filled your petrol automobile with diesel, or the wrong fuel in your diesel motor vehicle wherever in Derbyshire, phone us immediately. Our qualified mechanics are all set and waiting for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Etwall

We fairly recently had a phone call about a young man who had put the wrong fuel in his trusty Volkswagen Golf in Etwall. He had conked out on the road. "I couldn't believe how quick you were in getting an engineer out to assist me after I foolishly filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you so much". Obviously we got there punctually and purged the engine after flushing all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived our engineer said the motorist was raging, but was grinning his face off afterwards.

A customer from Etwall with a full car of little ones in her diesel white Renault had put £40 of petrol at the Co Op station. She called us weeping and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We told her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the kids in the back."

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.
