Wrong Fuel in Car Old Town - Petrol in Diesel Car Old Town

It was about 6 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's sports, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Old Town hire car. The poor lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain well done in my opinion!

• The car won't work anymore

Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be very careful in your next stop at the petrol station to refill. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.

• Being in a rush or flustered
• You're in autopilot mode and not checking
• Car you are utilizing is borrowed, you're not familiar with it

Aside from incorrect fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your car to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the kind of gas you use as a propellant. Therefore, if your car starts showing the above signs, you should not only suspect wrong fuel but also water contamination.

The incorrect filling of AdBlue is another thing which can cause your vehicle to show signs like sputtering, release of a lot of smoke and even stoppage. Fortunately you have us, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. AdBlue is a substance that is added to a vehicle to help make the engine work more cleanly and should only be added by experts using its specified filler neck and tank to avoid experiencing the above signs. If you are unaware of this, you can easily make a mistake resulting in a wrong filling of AdBlue and the above symptoms. But once again, we've got you covered for our technicians can deal with the problem regardless of whether it is incorrect fuel that got you stuck or wrong usage of AdBlue.

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.
