Wrong Fuel in Car Alwoodley - Petrol in Diesel Car Alwoodley

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Sunday and we were off to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel Alwoodley. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a rural lane en route to visit her godchildren. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she said to me, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel as I'd just purchased it a couple of days ago when my previous one, which I had owned for over twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a precious lady!

Indicators of wrong fuel

Signs of incorrect fuel are evident, but in most cases you might not be able to notice all of them. However, if your engine begins sputtering or if you start seeing lots of smoke emerging from the exhaust, or your vehicle stops and shows no power at all even though you push the accelerator harder and harder, then it is almost a given that you have put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle.

---

Having said so, if you ever end up in a strange car or a car where the autopilot is driving, you should just remain calm. Since you are now informed about the signs of incorrect fuel or have encountered it, once it occurs you should be able to recognize it. Detecting the problem won't be difficult anymore even without diligently checking your car.

As mentioned earlier, there are other problems that could be the cause of your vehicle problems other than incorrect fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar bad vehicle performance, usually ending in your car breaking down. Therefore, if your vehicle starts showing the above signs, you should not only suspect wrong fuel but also water contamination.

Addition of too much or too low AdBlue to your car tank also results in excessive smoke from the exhaust and a sputtering engine too. Fortunately you have us, so you have nothing to worry about. The incorrect ratio of this fuel additive which is used to improve the working of the engine can result from being added directly along with fuel instead of using its own automatic dosing system and tank. If you are unaware of this, you can easily make a mistake resulting in a wrong filling of AdBlue and the above symptoms. You should thus note that whether it is wrong fuel or adding AdBlue directly, we can help you hit back on the road.

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.
