I am not very interested in doing the job on weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just left home after a superb roast made by the better half, and I was en route to help a guy after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his Thurgoland. He was stationed nearby and so I was on scene almost immediately. As I drove up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and didn't realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted harm because of driving it?" I revealed that generally there probably should not be problems and also I'd get the fuel drained quickly for him. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and so yet another content motorist was able to continue on their ride without any subsequent fuss. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make carrying out work on weekends just that small bit better for me!

Getting you going again
After getting to you, our competent mechanic will go the whole nine yards to assure that you should be up and running within half an hour. He will first guarantee that everybody and everything including the fuel tank is safe before starting the procedure of draining the wrong fuel in your car. A professional comes in handy if you drove for some time with the wrong fuel as the task will involve draining the fuel lines and replacing the fuel filter if it is beyond reclamation.
So what if you called after suspecting you have filled the tank with the wrong fuel? We understand that prevention is better than cure and your worry is welcome so in such a case you will only be charged a reasonable fee if our technician proves your worries false. But if you have pumped the wrong fuel in your vehicle, he will drain and flash its fuel system. He will then refuel it given that he'll be carrying enough fuel with him and you won't be surprised given that he'll just charge you a forecourt price for the new fuel. Each technician also comes armed with all relevant tools and you'll not experience any delays even though your battery is dead and requires some attention. Because our main priority is to ensure that you are well on your way as fast and as safely as possible, you should never have to worry about being left at the side of the road.
Other Fuel Services
Other than wrong fuel in a vehicle, we also provide other related services like disposal of contaminated fuel. Most people, however, are not aware that we do and that it is not easy. It is not easy to do so because you must be able to follow the strict rules set by the Environment Agency and must also be accredited by them before you can legally get rid of it. This service is readily accessible to both private and commercial customers. We dump all the fuel using big capacity tanks, trailer loads, and containers to name but a few. We do this not merely safely but also legally.
The wrong fuel isn't the only contamination issue we cope with, we also help when there is water in your fuel system or when you find that you poured AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue is a good substance which can be used to clean emissions in your diesel engine hence making them run cleaner. When used in the wrong manner, however, what was meant to help the engine may as well ruin it. Not many people know the risk of AdBlue contamination as evidenced by a high number of people pouring AdBlue directly into fuel tanks.
It doesn't matter if it is AdBlue or water, our technicians are professionals in taking out the wrong mixture that has been added to your fuel tank.

Wrong Fuel in Car Thurgoland - Petrol in Diesel Car Thurgoland
It was just before six pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting discussing the sports results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage and filled petrol in a diesel Thurgoland hire car. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and less worried. A job done well in my books!

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.

- Call us to come out anywhere in South Yorkshire to 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.
