Wrong Fuel in Car Baildon - Petrol in Diesel Car Baildon

A fairly concerned driver called us from the Esso filling station to tell us that he put petrol in his diesel Baildon; he wasn't really quite sure how he'd managed to do it. We informed him it was no situation and before long had our engineer out to him to clear the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having extracted the incorrect fuel, he was almost immediately back driving. He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the gentleman who was sent to do the fuel drain was extremely excellent - he did not make me seem like an idiot."

You might be suspecting that you have placed the wrong fuel in your car, but you are uncertain of the signs. We have heard situations of clients having the same suspicions only for our technicians to realise a whole different problem. In order for you to make sure your vehicle is experiencing problems as a result of wrong fuel, we have put together some of the usual signs for you. If you hear your engine spluttering and not running nicely, or observe a lot of smoke from your exhaust causing no power to the car and hence forcing the car to a stop, then that is clear indication of burning the incorrect fuel.

Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be cautious in your next stop at the petrol station to refill. You'll want to go over what exactly are the potential causes of why it happened.

• Being in a hurry or flustered
• You're in autopilot mode and not checking
• You're using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired

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

A lot of modern diesel engines make use of AdBlue, a system that decreases the air pollution of the engine. The correct amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very critical. It's generally mounted on a separate tank to prevent directly mixing to your fuel tank. If somebody directly added this to your tank not realizing the right tank to put it in, your engine will be in big trouble because it's is wrong to mix it with fuel. You will start to notice similar symptoms mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can almost certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.

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:
