Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be careful in your next stop at the gas station to refill. From now on, be aware of those common causes of putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle:
- Being in a rush or flustered
- Not concentrating - being on autopilot
- You are using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired
Your fuel might also be contaminated with water
Presence of water in fuel is another thing which can make your vehicle behave in the way explained above. Hence you also have to consider it. You should be aware that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your car uses diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine leading to an untimely stop.
Diesel engines (modern ones) today utilize AdBlue to reduce nitrous contaminants in the exhaust fumes. The correct amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very crucial. It's typically mounted on a separate tank to prevent directly mixing to your fuel tank. If someone isn't mindful of this and tries to add it straight into the tank, it will create problems. Again, the signs are very like those described above, and we can put things right for you. Here's our message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll always 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
