It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Linton Heath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel white Jeep Grand Cherokee lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite agitated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

Run Out of Fuel Support
Out of fuel in Linton Heath (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the usual issues which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather expediently.
You should know that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

A person phoned us from Linton Heath to state that he had stupidly pumped unleaded into his diesel partner's BMW 645. "What a fool! I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car!" It took our engineer roughly fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the car.

I'm not actually overly keen on doing work weekends, and last week was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids following a superb dinner made by the wife, and I was off to sort out a man who filled the wrong fuel in his mate's Mazda B-Series. He was stationed in Linton Heath and so it wasn't long before I got to him. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on other things and didn't realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any kind of problems as a result of running it?" I stated that generally there shouldn't be any harm and also I would personally remove the wrong fuel as soon as possible for him. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then yet another delighted motorist had the ability to continue their journey without any difficulty. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make working on Sundays in Derbyshire that tiny bit better in my opinion!

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly 2am and nobody was around. It had been pretty quiet so far, and Paul and I were loafing reading through a couple of old magazines. This was a rare quiet time in Derbyshire. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that the moment the telephone rang it made me start! The motorist on the opposite end stated: "I concluded my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel friend's Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG in error". I told him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was situated and we set off, reaching him in Linton Heath an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He thanked us profusely for coming out so fast. While we were coming back to the office we saw two ladies on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we pulled over 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.
