Local Call-Out and Roadside Repair in Derbyshire

It was just after 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting going over the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the next job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Youlgreave and put the wrong fuel in a diesel deep grey VW Tiguan rental by mistake. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Youlgreave (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They will be able to handle the common problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases quite easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DE45 Postcode - Youlgreave Misfueling

The driver of a boss' Mitsubishi Chariot was sorry that he had put unleaded in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the road and it spluttered and stopped.

A lady driving in Youlgreave contacted us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled car to work. She had filled petrol in her diesel metallic green Skoda and, like plenty before her, believed that she could basically top up her vehicle with diesel and it'd be alright. The engine was coughing and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved within 60 minutes whilst she was at the office. She came out soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm really delighted you repaired my car."

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.
