Wrong Fuel in Car Copley - Petrol in Diesel Car Copley

It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing going over the weekend's golf results, prepared for the sixth job that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Copley rental car in error. She was pretty agitated apparently, crying "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and less worried. One more misfuel correction well done in my opinion!

Signs of incorrect fuel

After refueling your tank, your car may begin experiencing some signs but you might not be able to understand them all. Nevertheless, if your engine begins sputtering or if you start seeing lots of smoke emerging from the exhaust, or your car stops and shows no power at all even if you press the accelerator harder and harder, then it is almost a given that you have put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle.

---

Noting all of the above, I assume you'll be careful in your next stop at the fuel station to refill. From now on, consider those common causes of putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle:

• Being in a rush or flustered
• You're in autopilot mode and not checking
• Being in a car you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a car

As mentioned earlier, there are other problems that could be the cause of your vehicle problems besides incorrect fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar poor car performance, typically ending in your vehicle breaking down. This implies that if you experience any of the earlier mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

A lot of modern diesel engines utilize AdBlue, a system that reduces the pollution of the engine. The right amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very important. It's usually mounted on a separate tank to avoid directly mixing to your fuel tank. If somebody directly added this to your tank not knowing the proper tank to put it in, your engine will be in big trouble because it's is wrong to mix it with fuel. The signs you will notice is the same as what were cited above but don't fret we get it fixed. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can definitely help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.

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.
