Wrong Fuel in Car Littletown - Petrol in Diesel Car Littletown
We had a phone call from a businessman who put the wrong fuel in his Littletown. He had come to a stand-still on the road. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the predicament before I ground to a halt. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was impressed because of both your call-out time and your pricing". Needless to say we arrived on the scene punctually and flushed the engine after flushing all the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival our technician said the customer was fuming, but was pleased when we finished.

All that said, you will most likely be more careful in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. From now on, consider those common causes of putting the wrong fuel in your car:
- Being in a hurry or flustered
- 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. It will make your vehicle behave abnormally and ultimately stops regardless of whether it runs on diesel or petrol thus you should also suspect it if you are in a situation of doubt.
AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work with less pollution. It is commonly administered incorrectly, as such, it is crucial that it is done by somebody who knows how to utilize it. Otherwise, it may end up causing problems to your vehicle. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to encounter incorrect AdBlue usage, especially if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by somebody who is not aware of the procedure.
Such a problem is also indicated by the vehicle not moving smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Luckily, you have us. Our technicians are professionals in this area too in addition to issues dealing with water contamination and incorrect fuel in the vehicle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Littletown - Petrol in Diesel Car Littletown
This was exactly what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and almost noone was stirring. It was fairly dead until now, and Mark and I were sitting reading through a couple of old papers. It was an uncommon calm moment. Actually it was that quiet that the moment my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice explained: "I've only just ended my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in the diesel Littletown in error". I told him to tell us where exactly the car was located and we left, getting to him under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us for coming so fast. As we were heading back to the depot we spotted two girls on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. So we got out and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
