Apart from incorrect fuel in your vehicle, water contamination can also cause your car to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you utilize as a propellant. So, should you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.

The running of the engine is typically improved making use of a diesel system additive referred to as AdBlue. However, it should just be used by experts who understand where and how to use it. If not, your car will start running badly. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The probability of misusing AdBlue is very high especially if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.

Just like when a car has incorrect fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to run smoothly and eventually cause the car to stop. The good thing is that we are here to help.

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 West 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.
