It was after five pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's sports rankings, at the ready for the next job that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Hundall and filled petrol in a diesel new-shape BMW 325 lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hundall (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will deal with any of the usual issues which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and felt contented the following morning as I was on the way to help a young family who were on vacation in Hundall. They had conked out after putting diesel into their wife's Audi Coupe GT, and were close to an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady berating her husband for turning out to be so confused. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this problem comes to pass frequently in Derbyshire and that it's actually nothing to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful by his missus. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances 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.

  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.
