Wrong Fuel in Car Painthorpe - Petrol in Diesel Car Painthorpe

A rather concerned motorist phoned us from the Texaco petrol station to tell us that he had put petrol in his diesel Painthorpe; he wasn't really certain how he'd done it. We assured him it was no situation and rapidly had our specialist out to him to clear the wrong fuel from his tank. Having removed the wrong fuel, he was soon back rolling again. He told us; "I am truly surprised I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the gentleman who was sent to perform the fuel drain was very fantastic - he didn't make me look ridiculous."

Warning Signs and Causes

• Even you fully press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
• The car won't run anymore

So in the future, regardless of whether you are unfamiliar with the car or the autopilot is in control, you do not have to worry. Equipped with information and from experience, you should be able to detect wrong fuel in your vehicle immediately. And the situation whether you are focusing or not, will not matter either.

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

A sputtering engine with low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. It will make your car behave abnormally and ultimately stops regardless of whether it uses diesel or petrol thus you should also suspect it if you are in a situation of doubt.

The running of the engine is generally improved utilizing a diesel system additive called AdBlue. However, it should only be used by experts who understand where and how to use it. If not, your vehicle will start behaving badly. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to encounter wrong AdBlue usage, especially if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the procedure.

Signs of AdBlue contamination also include the vehicle not running perfectly and eventually stopping. Good news is we are at all times ready to help. Our mobile technicians are used to coping with a wide range of vehicle issues, not just water contamination or having the incorrect fuel in the vehicle but this kind of problem too.

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.
