It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were resting there commenting on the recent sports, ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Nether Burrows and put the wrong fuel in her diesel light blue Peugeot 106 rental car in error. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could find her right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Nether Burrows (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up the car. They can also deal with the standard troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Wednesday and I was off to help an old lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel dark green Vauxhall Zafira in Nether Burrows. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural lane on route to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it a few days ago when my previous one, which I had had for over twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Derbyshire woman!

A teenager who had only got his licence had wrong fueled his expensive Mitsubishi Montero by putting unleaded in the diesel vehicle at the filling station close to Nether Burrows. He said, "This is the second time I have filled up my car from the time when I paid for it and I don't know how to proceed." He was worried since his step father had just recently bought him the car.

This was an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 2:30am and almost noone was around. It had been quite uneventful thus far, and me and Ray were loafing looking at several old articles. It was an unusual peaceful hour in Derbyshire. It was indeed so relaxing that the instant the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end said: "I have only just completed my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic silver Toyota Corolla by mistake". We told him to tell us just where the car was and we left, reaching him in Nether Burrows only an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the motor. He said thank you for arriving so quickly. While we were going back to the depot we found two young ladies at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. So we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
