Wrong Fuel in Car Hanging Bank - Petrol in Diesel Car Hanging Bank

Now I am not ever that inclined to doing the job on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just departed home following a magnificent lunch made by the better half, and I was on the way to help a fellow because he filled the wrong petrol in his Hanging Bank. He was situated nearby so I arrived on scene almost immediately. Just as I pulled up at the vehicle and got out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about any kind of damage simply by driving it?" I explained that generally there probably should not be problems and also I'd personally remove the wrong fuel at once for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then another content customer could carry on with their trip without hassle. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make working on Sundays just a little bit easier for me!

At the end of the day, our technician will be carrying a tank-full of contaminated fuel they have drained from several vehicles that will need to be disposed of. Nowadays, such fuel should be disposed of appropriately since pouring it out might pollute the environment and the local water supply. We are Environmental Agency Certified and have the necessary know-how and tools to dispose of contaminated fuel.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But you must also remember that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution used to enhance the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. Utilizing AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above issues since we can flush the system just like in the case of incorrect fuel. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

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 anywhere in Kent 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.
