Indicators of incorrect fuel

When you refuel your vehicle tank with the incorrect fuel, your car may start giving many signs that should get you worried, unfortunately, you may be not able to master them all.

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

• Being in a hurry or flustered
• Not focusing - being on autopilot
• You are using a vehicle you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired

Aside from wrong fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your car to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you utilize as a propellant. This means that if you experience any of the earlier mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

Addition of too much or too low AdBlue to your car tank also results in too much smoke from the exhaust and a sputtering engine too. Fortunately you have us, so you have nothing to be worried about. AdBlue is an additive used to boost the anti-pollution system of the engine and should be used by a professional, in fact, it should be added using its own tank instead of being added directly alongside with fuel. You should thus just use it if you are fully aware of its procedure so as to prevent your car from misbehaving due to the wrong usage of AdBlue. But we are capable of helping you embark on your journey regardless if the issue is incorrect fuel or AdBlue contamination.

• 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.

It was after six pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting there discussing the sports rankings, at the ready for the 8th call that day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Halton Moor hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to get to her quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and not so worried. Yet another job well done in my opinion!
