It was just after 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were resting talking about the tennis results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Denstone and filled petrol in her diesel sombre grey Saab 9-3 hire car in error. She was fairly agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

Out of fuel in Denstone (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the typical problems which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in ST14 Postcode - Denstone Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Saturday and we were off to assist an older lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel dark green Chevrolet Caprice in Denstone. She told us that she had left the filling station and broken down in a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing it she said, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a couple of days back after my previous one, which I had had for more than 25 years, eventually broke down". I got the drain done and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Staffordshire woman!

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.
