It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were resting commenting on the rugby results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Repton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Audi A7 hire car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another job in Derbyshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Repton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will be able to deal with any of the usual problems that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

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.
