So in the future, regardless of whether you are not familiar with the vehicle or the autopilot is in control, you do not have to fear. Having this information, knowing symptoms of wrong fuel in your vehicle or other problems should be easy. Knowing the problem won't be difficult anymore even without extensively examining your car.
Other than incorrect fuel in your vehicle, water contamination can also cause your car to run poorly before coming to a halt, regardless of the kind of gas you utilize as a propellant. So, should you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.
A lot of modern diesel engines use AdBlue, a system that cuts down the pollution of the engine. Having the right ratio of AdBlue to fuel is important, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If someone isn't aware of this and tries to add it directly into the tank, it will create problems. Again, the signs are very like those described above, and we can put things right for you. Just keep 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".
When dealing with flammable materials, you would require not only the right expertise but also the right tools. If not, it can cause fire, making the entire situation disastrous yet it could have been managed with ease. If you have a car issue that involves fuel or other flammable materials, we recommend you speak to a professional as your first point of action, as opposed to handling it yourself or involving a friend.
Furthermore, our technicians are distributed nationwide, and they are trained to manage various vehicles and sort different troubles at very reasonable prices and over a remarkably short time.
Correct Disposal
Proper disposal of contaminated fuel is not only part of the wrong fuel service but also a service that we provide to companies and private individuals separately. If you wish to hire us to drain, store or dispose of contaminated fuel in a fixed storage tank, mobile bowser, or a selection of containers filled with contaminated fuel, all you should do is grant us access and be assured of secure and legal disposal on your behalf.
Upon arrival, our mechanics jump straight to work. The contaminated fuel is flushed out from your engine first, once that is done and the technician is confident that is not a problem anymore, your tank will be re-filled with your needed clean fuel. Any other problems your vehicle is displaying will be promptly fixed, for example a broken fuel filter. We let our clients to drive from site first to make certain that you do not get stuck after we are gone.
In the unlikely event that wrong fuel or contaminated fuel isn't the issue, our well trained technician will be able to determine that, and the likely cause and we will just make a nominal call out fee, not the originally quoted price.
Will it take long
On average, 30 minutes is the time it takes us to get you back on the road after putting the right fuel back in your car. So all you have to do is to make that call, and you won't regret it.

Tales from our own Kebroyd mechanics:
Wrong Fuel in Car Kebroyd - Petrol in Diesel Car Kebroyd
It was close to eight pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were resting discussing the weekend's tennis results, ready for the 6th job that day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kebroyd rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from us, we could get to her quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. A job well done in my opinion!

A customer working nearby called us as soon as she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kebroyd and, like many people before her, assumed that she would be able to simply fill her vehicle with diesel and it would be fine. The vehicle was chugging and then it cut out when she came to the the front of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired inside one hour whilst she was at work. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really glad you fixed my vehicle."

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 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.
