Wrong Fuel in Car Featherstone - Petrol in Diesel Car Featherstone

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be up. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been rather uneventful up to now, and John and I were relaxing reading a number of old papers. That was a rare restful moment. It was in fact so calm that the instant the phone inevitably rang I leaped! The voice on the opposite end explained: "I concluded my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the Featherstone in error". We got him to tell us just where the car was and we hit the road, getting to him less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thank you for coming so rapidly. While we were coming back to the office we spotted two girls on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.

What to consider if you have put incorrect fuel in car

The signs of incorrect fuel are evident, but in most situations you might not be able to notice all of them. However, if your engine starts 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 wrong fuel in your vehicle.

---

Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be mindful in your next stop at the fuel station to refill. You'll want to go over what exactly are the possible causes of why it happened.

• You're in a situation where you are confused while in a hurry
• Not concentrating - being on autopilot
• Vehicle you are using is borrowed, you are not familiar with it

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

A sputtering engine with very low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination. You should know that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your vehicle consumes diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine leading to an untimely stop.

Diesel engines (modern ones) these days make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollutants in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of correct 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 tries to add it directly into the tank, it will create problems. Again, the symptoms are very like those stated above, and we can put things right for you. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.

Flammable materials require not only adequate expertise, but also a variety of relevant tools to manage them properly. Fuel for example, can ignite quickly, turning a small issue into a catastrophic one. Whenever you have a car issue that involves fuel or other flammable materials, we suggest you speak to a professional as your first point of action, as opposed to handling it yourself or involving a friend.

Besides, our technicians are situated throughout the place, and they have all the skill sets and knowledge, and will address the issue for you quickly and at an economical price.

We have all it takes to be the best option for you. One such reason is the fact that we carry fresh fuel that we can put to your tank once we have emptied out the contaminated one, and we charge a similar price as that priced in petrol station hence you don’t have to worry about being charged excess. We also have a certification from the Environment Agency since we typically get rid of contaminated fuel in a safe and legal way, and this will serve to protect you from incurring extra expenses associated with poor disposal of fuel such as fines.

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.
