Wrong Fuel in Car Drighlington - Petrol in Diesel Car Drighlington

A motorist driving nearby phoned us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Drighlington and, like many people before her, believed that she would be able to just fill her vehicle with diesel and it would be okay. The engine was chugging and then it cut out when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed within 60 minutes whilst she was at work. She came out when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really happy you fixed my car."

Other Fuel Issues in Drighlington

Problems in the fuel system may not only due to incorrect fuel in the vehicle. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your vehicle to run poorly and eventually stop altogether. The symptoms stipulated above will also be seen in your engine even though it is just water contamination to either petrol or diesel run engine.

The wrong filling of AdBlue is another factor which can cause your vehicle to show signs such as sputtering, release of a lot of smoke and even stoppage. But we can help you resolve similar problem. The wrong ratio of this fuel additive which is used to improve the working of the engine can result from being added directly together with fuel instead of using its own automatic dosing system and tank. You should thus only use it if you are completely aware of its procedure so as to prevent your car from misbehaving due to the incorrect usage of AdBlue. But we are capable of helping you embark on your journey regardless if the issue is incorrect fuel or AdBlue contamination.

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.
