It was before 5 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the recent sports, waiting around for the sixth call to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Draycott and put petrol in her diesel canary yellow Lexus LFA hire car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this often happen. She managed to get the car to a safe position and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in case you may have put AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s composed of a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with AdBlue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

In the event that you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the specialised expertise and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Draycott

I am not very excited about working on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just departed the family filled with a wonderful Sunday roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a guy who put the incorrect fuel in his mustard yellow Jaguar. He was only in Draycott and so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on other stuff and did not realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted harm simply by running it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be any problems and that also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained right away for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then yet another delighted client could continue on his trip without bother. He did not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what can make carrying out work on weekends in Derbyshire that little less painful for me personally!

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was around 3am and almost noone was about. It was pretty quiet until now, and Ryan and I were sitting around looking through some old papers. That was an unusual tranquil hour in Derbyshire. It was indeed that quiet that when the telephone finally rang I jumped! The person on the other end said: "I have finished my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my maroon Mazda B2500". We asked him to tell us exactly where he was situated and we headed out, arriving in Draycott under half an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the motor. He thanked us for arriving so fast. While we were heading back home we spotted two young women at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to help them change it, much 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.
