It was before 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! James and I were seated talking about the weekend's sports rankings, ready for the sixth call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Harpur Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel compact Ford Escort rental by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, since it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases very expediently.
Take note though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.
Wrong Fuel in Car in SK17 Postcode - Harpur Hill Misfueling
What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a warm Wednesday and we were on my way to help an elder lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel mint green Chevrolet Caprice in Harpur Hill. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a rural road on the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a short while ago right after my former car, which I had used for over thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Derbyshire lady!

A motorist had conked out off a road in Harpur Hill. His bright red Citron DS3 engine had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.

We performed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise outside a beautiful property in Harpur Hill a few weeks ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to almost arrive at home when my car broke down." Our fuel drainer went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and did a thorough fuel drain and purge on the khaki green Mercedes-Benz E-Class .

This was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 2am and noone was around. It had become quite uneventful so far, and John and I were loafing around browsing some old articles. That was a rare peaceful hour in Derbyshire. It was so calm that the moment the telephone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the opposite end said: "I have only just finished my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the customised Vauxhall Corsa". We asked him to inform us where exactly he was located and we headed out, ending up in Harpur Hill 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He thanked us for showing up so fast. While we were coming back to base we saw two girls at the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. So we got out 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
