It was about five pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting there talking about the weekend's football, prepared for the 6th job that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Unstone Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel brand new Volkswagen GTI hire car by mistake. She was very affected apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases quite easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged 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.
