It was around five pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and I were seated there talking over the sports, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Whaley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic grey Mitsubishi Challenger lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find her right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and less concerned. Yet another job in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of people not knowing how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If you end up in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical competence and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NG20 Postcode - Whaley Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Monday and I was off to assist an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel expensive Suzuki Swift in Whaley. I had been told she had left the filling station and was stranded along a country lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I turned up at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel since I had only acquired it a short while ago when my old one, which I had owned for over 25 years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Derbyshire lady!

Regardless if you are in a brand spanking new vehicle or an outdated type, we have the tools as well as experience to correct the difficulty on the sopt. We clean out all the wrong fuel, resolve any complications triggered from the misfueling, and get you going.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Whaley - Fuel Rescue Whaley

A customer driving in Whaley contacted us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel father's Citron C4 and, like many prior to her, imagined that she would be able to simply fill the tank with diesel and it'd be fine. The engine was spluttering and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired within 60 minutes whilst she was working. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely relieved you repaired my vehicle."

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.
