It was around 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were resting going over the recent footy results, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Hollins Lane and put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Volkswagen GTI rental in error. The poor lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles from the office, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations very easily.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Lancashire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in PR3 Postcode - Hollins Lane Misfueling

What a fantastic night of sleep! 7:00 on a bright Wednesday and we were off to assist an old woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Mitsubishi L300 in Hollins Lane. I had been informed she had left the filling station and broken down along a rural lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only just bought it a short while back right after my other car, which I'd had for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a lovely Lancashire woman!

We a few weeks ago had a phone call about a driver who put the incorrect fuel in his Ferarri red Mitsubishi in Hollins Lane. He had ground to a halt on the road. "I couldn't believe how rapid you were in sending an engineer out to aid me after I foolishly unleaded in my diesel car. Thank you". Of course we were on-scene rapidly and purged the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived the fuel drainer said the client was fuming, but was satisfied when we finished.

A motorist who had unfortunately put unleaded in his diesel metallic yellow Saab 9-3 phoned us for a fuel drain at the Tesco filling station in Hollins Lane. He thought it would be good to fill up before going on to the nearby holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol rather than diesel which unfortunately wasn't a wonderful beginning to our getaway." It was definitely no trouble whatsoever for our engineer to go out and do the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.

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 VA 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.
