I'd had a perfect evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the following day as I was en route to help a young family who were away. They'd conked out after filling petrol into their Woodsetts, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked while I heard to the lady telling off her partner for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this takes place everyday and that it's really nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I waved farewell and wondered what my missus would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

Other Fuel Services

Our services are not limited to draining, cleaning and refueling tanks. As easy as it may sound, disposing of contaminated fuel requires a long process. The Environment Agency has very tight rules on the matter, and you have to be approved by, and registered with them before you can lawfully dispose of contaminated fuel. We offer a removal and disposal service to private and commercial customers as well. No matter where your contaminated fuel is stored - in a container, trailer, or fixed large capacity tank - we promise we can remove and dispose it following the legal standards.

We also solve other fuel contamination problems like the presence of water in your car's fuel system and AdBlue inadvertently poured straight into the fuel tank. AdBlue helps diesel engines to run cleaner by cleaning out emissions. When used in the wrong method, however, what was intended to help the engine may as well destroy it. Not many people understand the danger of AdBlue contamination as evidenced by a high number of people pouring AdBlue directly into fuel tanks.

Water and AdBlue are no match for our technicians and they'll have the equipment and know-how to get you on your way as soon as possible.

A rather concerned motorist phoned us from the Total filling station to inform us that he had put unleaded into his diesel Woodsetts; he wasn't exactly certain how he'd done it. We told him it was absolutely no hassle and rapidly had our man with him to clean the incorrect fuel from his car. Having taken out the bad fuel, he was soon back behind the wheel. He told us; "I am truly surprised I put petrol in my diesel car. And the technician who came out to carry out the fuel drain was very pleasant - he did not make me look and feel a fool."

Wrong Fuel in Car Woodsetts - Petrol in Diesel Car Woodsetts

It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were sitting discussing the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Woodsetts hire car. She was very distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain done well in my mind!

A couple weeks ago a young man telephoned us when his Woodsetts stopped along the street. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to pull up. It was in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays not far away, got to him in about fifteen minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the car. "Many kudos to you for your immediate response, particularly at 3 a.m., I really am grateful for it."

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 anywhere in South Yorkshire to 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.
