It was around 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting going over the rugby results, ready for the 8th job to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Edwinstowe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel sombre grey Peugeot 207 lease car. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things sadly happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Nottinghamshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Edwinstowe (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Nottinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill the car. They will be able to deal with the standard issues that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you have poured AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made from a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the AdBlue is going to be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

A fairly concerned driver phoned us from the Texaco petrol station at Nottinghamshire to inform us that he had put petrol into his diesel blue Audi riolet; he wasn't totally certain how he'd managed to do it.

He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the technician who came to carry out the fuel drain was incredibly pleasant - he did not make me look and feel like a plonker."

I appreciated a wonderful day hiking on my off day and felt contented with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were on vacation in Edwinstowe. They had broken down after inserting petrol into their precious Skoda, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal chastising her man for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem happens regularly in Nottinghamshire and that it is nothing to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
