Wrong Fuel in Car Arrunden - Petrol in Diesel Car Arrunden

It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were sitting there going over the sports, prepared for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Arrunden rental. She was very affected it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. A job done well in my books!

Other Fuel Issues in Arrunden

Car problems are not attributed only to wrong fuel in the fuel system. Water can contaminate your fuel system too, causing the engine to stop or run abnormally. It doesn't matter if your vehicle runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause the same symptoms to those described above.

Adblue is a diesel system additive often put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less toxic. It is commonly administered wrongly, as such, it is essential that it is done by somebody who knows how to utilize it. Or else, it would cause troubles and problems to your car. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The possibility of misusing AdBlue is quite high especially if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.

Such a problem is also shown by the car not moving smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Great news is we are at all times ready to help. Our technicians are professionals in this area too in addition to problems dealing with water contamination and wrong fuel in the vehicle.

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.
