It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were seated discussing the recent tennis results, waiting around for the sixth job of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Newchurch in Pendle and filled petrol in her diesel spotless Lexus LX lease car. The poor thing was very irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

We can come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.

I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up on a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I got to the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had only acquired it a few days ago when my other car, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Lancashire lady!

I had appreciated a great evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I was on the way to aid a young couple away in Newchurch in Pendle. They had broken down after inserting diesel into their green MINI Cooper Countryman, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the girl berating her hubby for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in Lancashire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, however he all the same got an earful by his better half. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and thought about what my missus would tell me if ever I made the very same error... I would never live it down!

We have fuel drainers on call in the neighborhood equipped and waiting to come to and drain your vehicle of the incorrect fuel or polluted fuel. We operate twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. All of our technicians are thoroughly trained and experienced in handling all types of cars and trucks.

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.
