Wrong Fuel in Car Burley in Wharfedale - Petrol in Diesel Car Burley in Wharfedale

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Sunday and I was on the way to help an elder woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel Burley in Wharfedale. I had been informed she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up in a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched her location into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was working she told me, "Now I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had just got it a couple of days ago after my old car, which I'd used for more than thirty years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious woman!

Signs of the Problem and its Causes

Your experience of having a tank fueled with the incorrect fuel may teach you see the signs of the problem. For complete reference for future use, here are some the symptoms:

• The engine won't work and it's spluttering
• If you notice the exhaust, you will notice plenty of smoke coming out
• Even you totally press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
• The vehicle won't work anymore

---

Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be cautious in your next stop at the petrol station to refill. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.

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

You should also know that incorrect fuel is not the only problem that can cause your car to show the aforementioned indications. The presence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your vehicle not run efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. So, if you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.

Diesel engines (modern ones) these days use AdBlue to reduce nitrous toxins in the exhaust fumes. Having the right ratio of AdBlue to fuel is essential, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If you get somebody to directly add this to your tank without knowing the proper procedure, it's more likely to cause trouble to your engine. The signs you will observe is the same as what were cited above but don't fret we get it fixed. Just keep in mind what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for help and we'll be there".

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.
