Wrong Fuel in Car Burley - Petrol in Diesel Car Burley

It was about seven pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there going over the weekend's rugby, ready for the 8th call to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Burley rental in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. Another fuel drain done well in my mind!

Things to look for in case you have put wrong fuel in vehicle

Signs of incorrect fuel are quite evident, but in most instances you might not be able to observe all of them. Nevertheless, if your engine begins sputtering or if you start seeing a lot of smoke emerging from the exhaust, or your car stops and shows no power at all even though you push the accelerator harder and harder, then it is obvious that you have put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle.

Now that you know the indicators of wrong fuel in a car, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more cautious in future and be certain of not making the mistake. You should avoid being in a hurry, not focusing when you are on autopilot, and being in a vehicle you are borrowing or hiring so as to avoid going through the same mistake.

You should also be aware that wrong fuel is not the only problem that can cause your vehicle to show the above signs. The presence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your car not work efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. This implies that if you experience any of the previously mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

The running of the engine is commonly improved using a diesel system additive known as AdBlue. It is commonly administered wrongly, as such, it is important that it is done by somebody who knows how to use it. Or else, it would cause troubles and problems to your vehicle. To avoid any problems, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. But it is very possible to experience wrong AdBlue usage, especially if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the process.

The signs of AdBlue contamination also include the vehicle not running perfectly and eventually stopping. Great news is we are at all times willing 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.
