Wrong Fuel in Car Thornhills - Petrol in Diesel Car Thornhills

A motorist had conked out on a road, just after having misfueled. She was sobbing and really troubled as she had put £50 petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we made an effort to calm her as best we could, telling her that all would be fine. By the time we got to her she was not aggrieved any more and was very curious in watching our engineer perform the fuel drain on her Thornhills. Afterwards she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I only just purchased it so it genuinely concerned me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly pleased that it was very easily fixable."

Indicators of incorrect fuel

Whenever you refuel your vehicle tank with the wrong fuel, your vehicle may start giving many signs that should get you alarmed, unfortunately, you may be not able to master them all. In case your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your vehicle starts losing power regardless of how much you press the accelerator, or if your car comes to a halt, then you can suspect that you have put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle.

All that said, you will probably be more cautious in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. You'll want to look back at what precisely are the possible causes of why it happened.

• You are in a hurry and confused on what exactly to do
• You're in autopilot mode and not checking
• You're using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired

Presence of water in fuel is yet another issue

A sputtering engine with very low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. It does not matter whether your vehicle uses diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to run roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also know about it.

Adblue is a diesel system additive usually put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less polluted. It is typically administered incorrectly, as such, it is essential that it is done by someone who knows how to utilize it. Otherwise, it may end up causing problems to your vehicle. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to experience incorrect AdBlue usage, especially if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by somebody who is not aware of the procedure.

Just like when a car has incorrect fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to run smoothly and eventually cause the car to stop. Luckily, you have us. Our technicians are professionals in this field too in addition to problems dealing with water contamination and wrong fuel in the vehicle.

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.
