It was just before six pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting there talking over the tennis results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Gorsethorpe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Jaguar X-Type lease car. She was pretty irritated apparently, crying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things happen. She managed to get the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles from the office, we could reach the customer without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in Nottinghamshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to dawn and almost noone was around. It had become rather quiet until now, and me and Ryan were loafing around reading several old articles. That was an unusual quiet time in Nottinghamshire. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer explained: "I ended my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel metallic red Lexus LX". I got him to let us know exactly where he was located and we left, arriving in Gorsethorpe not as much as half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming out so promptly. As we were coming back home we spotted two girls at the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
