Wrong Fuel in Car Emley - Petrol in Diesel Car Emley
A gentleman broken down on a street needed a fuel drain around a few weeks back. His Emley was broken down on the side of the road after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was calm when he phoned us but a bit worried to get his car from the road as he was generating some congestion. We arrived in a quarter-hour since our technician had just finished his previous job. He said, "I can not believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and got stuck ! My vehicle was chugging I just had to pull over and after that it cut out."
What to consider in case you have put incorrect fuel in car
The signs of wrong fuel are quite evident, but in most cases you might not be able to notice all of them. In case your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your vehicle starts losing power no matter how much you press the accelerator, or if your vehicle comes to a stop, then you can suspect that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.
Noting all of the above, I assume you'll be mindful in your next stop at the gas station to refill. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.
- You're in a hurry and confused on what precisely to do
- Not focusing - being on autopilot
- Being in a car you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a car
Apart from wrong fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your car to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the kind of gas you utilize as a propellant. This means that if you experience any of the previously mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.
Diesel engines (modern ones) these days utilize AdBlue to reduce nitrous toxins in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of appropriate ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank installed somewhere. If someone isn't aware of this and attempts to add it directly into the tank, it will cause problems. Again, the symptoms are very like those described above, and we can put things right for you. Just bear in mind what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for help and we'll be there".

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Call us to come out and 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.
