Wrong Fuel in Car Bramhope - Petrol in Diesel Car Bramhope
A woman driving nearby contacted us as soon as she had tried to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Bramhope and, like countless prior to her, assumed that she could just fill up the vehicle with diesel and it'd run alright. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved in an hour or so while she was working. She came out when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really delighted you sorted my car."
Signs and Causes
Your experience of having a tank fueled with the wrong fuel may teach you see the signs of the problem. For complete reference for future use, here's a list of the symptoms:
- The engine won't run and it's spluttering
- You may notice lots of smoke coming from the exhaust
- Even you fully press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
- The car will stop on its own
All that said, you will probably be more cautious in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your car. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.
- You're in a circumstance where you are distressed while in a hurry
- Not focusing - being on autopilot
- You are using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired
You should also be aware that wrong fuel is not the only problem that can cause your car to show the above indications. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your vehicle not work efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. Thus, if your car starts showing the aforementioned signs, you should not only suspect wrong fuel but also water contamination.
Adblue is a diesel system additive usually put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less polluted. But it can only be used by people who know how to use it correctly. If not, your vehicle will start running badly. To avoid any problems, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. When someone who is inexperienced in administering AdBlue correctly, it is very common that they miss the mark.
Such a problem is also indicated by the vehicle not running smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Good news is we are always ready to help. Our technicians are professionals in this area too in addition to troubles dealing with water contamination and wrong fuel in the vehicle.
Diesel or petrol being very flammable needs to be handled by an expert with the right tools. Fuel for example, can ignite quickly, turning a small problem into a catastrophic one. Whenever you have a car problem that involves fuel or other flammable materials, we advise you talk to a professional as your first point of action, as opposed to dealing with it by yourself or involving a friend.
We are professionals in coping with whatever vehicle issues you have. Our technicians are well distributed all around the country and on call 24/7, prepared to sort out a wide range of problems efficiently, at a fair and economical price.

Recent Wrong Fuel Drains around Bramhope
Stories from our own Bramhope team:
Wrong Fuel in Car Bramhope - Petrol in Diesel Car Bramhope
We fairly recently got a call from a driver who had put the wrong fuel in his Bramhope. He had broken down on the road. "I was amazed at how speedy you people were in having an engineer out to aid me after I erroneously filled my diesel car with unleaded. I'm very grateful". Of course we arrived rapidly and flushed the engine after draining the petrol from the diesel tank. When he arrived the fuel drainer said the driver was raging, but was satisfied after the fuel drain.
Wrong Fuel Doctor Bramhope - Fuel Rescue Bramhope
It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were sitting talking about the recent rugby results, ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage and filled petrol in a diesel Bramhope rental. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and not so worried. One more misfuel correction done well in my opinion!
