Causes and Obvious Symptoms

Now that you have personally experienced what it is like to have the incorrect fuel in your vehicle, you may be be cautious next time. And to fully understand the signs of the problem here's a list for future reference:

• The engine won't run and it's spluttering
• The exhaust emits lots of smoke
• Engine appears powerless now matter how hard you push the accelerator
• The car won't run anymore

---

Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be cautious 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
• Being in a car or truck you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a car

Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.

A sputtering engine with very low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination. It will make your car 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.

Diesel engines (modern ones) nowadays make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous contaminants in the exhaust fumes. Having the right ratio of AdBlue to fuel is essential, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If someone directly added this to your tank not realizing the proper tank to put it in, your engine will be in big trouble because it's is incorrect to mix it with fuel. You will start observing the same signs mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it. Here's our personal message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll be your helping hand at any time of the day, anywhere you are".

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 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.

I had enjoyed a fantastic evening cycling during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a new couple vacationing. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol into their Ossett Spa, and were around an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked while I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass frequently and that it is nothing at all to fret about, but he yet still got his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
