Wrong Fuel in Car Penny Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Penny Hill

A person contacted us from his home on a street. He said, "My car (a Penny Hill) is not running and is producing awful sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said that he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.



What to consider if you have put wrong fuel in vehicle

After refueling your tank, your vehicle may begin showing some signs but you might not be able to understand them all. Nevertheless, if you were driving a car, and abruptly you notice that your car is giving off excessive smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the car loses power gradually regardless of how much energy you are applying on the accelerator and ultimately comes to a halt, then there is little doubt that you are facing an incorrect fuel in your vehicle issue.

Now that you know the indications of wrong fuel in a vehicle, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more careful in future and be certain of not making the mistake. You should avoid being in a rush, not concentrating when you are on autopilot, and being in a vehicle you are borrowing or hiring so as to avoid encountering the same mistake.

Presence of water in fuel is yet another thing which can make your car behave in the way explained above. Hence you also need to consider it.

AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work with less pollution. However, it should just be used by experts who understand where and how to use it. If not, your vehicle will start behaving badly. To avoid any problems, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank.

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.
