A customer broken down on a road in Heanor required a fuel drain around a few weeks ago. His wife's Seat Exeo was stopped on the side of the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he contacted us but slightly concerned to get his car away from the road as he was triggering some congestion. We got to him inside a quarter-hour as our technician was in nearby Heanor and had just finished a fuel drain. He said, "I simply don't believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and got stuck right here! My car was coughing I were forced to stop and after that it cut out."

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


Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Heanor (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up the car. They will deal with any of the common issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can easily bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DE75 Postcode - Heanor Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and I was on my way to help an old lady who put petrol in her diesel cobalt blue BMW Alpina B7 in Heanor. I had been told she had left the petrol station and was stranded along a rural road on the way to visit her godchildren. I punched her location in the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I got to the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she explained, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only acquired it a short while back because my previous one, which I'd had for about twenty five years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Derbyshire woman!

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around sunrise and almost noone was around. It had become fairly quiet thus far, and me and Ryan were loafing about perusing several old newspapers. This was a rare restful hour in Derbyshire. Actually it was so peaceful that the instant my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The person explained: "I have just ended my night shift and incredibly put petrol in my raspberry red BMW X5 in error". I asked him to inform us exactly where he was and we left, reaching him in Heanor not as much as an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the car. He said thanks a lot for showing up so quickly. While we were going back home we found two girls at the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
