Symptoms and Causes

You will probably have just encountered the signs of having the wrong fuel in your vehicle, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, just in case:

• Your engine will splutter and not work smoothly
• If you observe the exhaust, you will notice plenty of smoke coming out
• Your vehicle won't have power no matter how hard you press the accelerator
• Your vehicle will ultimately stop working altogether

---

The fact that you now are aware the signs of incorrect fuel in car or have experienced it, it will help you notice the problem if it happens again in future. You should avoid being in a hurry, not focusing when you are on autopilot, and being in a car you are borrowing or hiring in order to avoid experiencing the same mistake.

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

You should keep in mind that the contamination of fuel by water is another issue that can cause similar signs described above. 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 resulting in an untimely stop.

Diesel engines (modern ones) in these days use AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollutants in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of correct ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank mounted somewhere. If you hire someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the proper procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. You will start observing the same signs mentioned above but you should not be worried about it. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can almost certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.

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.
