It was before 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there going over the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the next call for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Tupton and filled petrol in a diesel uncle's Mercedes-Benz CL-Class rental car in error. She was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in S42 Postcode - Tupton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Sunday and we were on the way to assist an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel grey Dodge Avenger in Tupton. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I reached the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had only just purchased it a couple of days back when my former car, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Derbyshire woman!

It was actually early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives close by, arrived with him in about 15 minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back into the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 1 a.m., I appreciate it."

We a few weeks ago got a call about a motorist who put the wrong fuel in his compact Skoda Citigo in Tupton. He had broken down on the street. "I was pleasantly surprised at how fast you were in sending an engineer out to aid me after I stupidly petrol in my diesel. I'm very grateful". Of course we arrived on the scene punctually and purged the engine after draining all the petrol from the diesel tank. When he arrived the fuel drainer said the motorist was raging, but was grinning his face off afterwards.

This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was about 2:30am and noone was around. It had become pretty quiet thus far, and me and Mark were sitting perusing a couple of old articles. This was an unusual quiet hour in Derbyshire. Actually it was so relaxing that the instant the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist stated: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in my metallic green Isuzu i-370". I instructed him to tell us where exactly he was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Tupton an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the car and he said many thanks for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back home we saw two young ladies on the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up to help them change it, 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.
