Wrong Fuel in Car Burnlee - Petrol in Diesel Car Burnlee

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Sunday and I was on my way to help an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel Burnlee. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a backwater lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location into the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only just got it a short while back when my old one, which I had used for in excess of 25 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely woman!

So in the future, regardless of whether you are not familiar with the vehicle or the autopilot is in control, you do not have to be afraid. Loaded with information and from experience, you should be able to determine wrong fuel in your car immediately. And the situation whether you are focusing or not, will not matter either.

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

Wrong usage of AdBlue can also cause your engine to sputter, stop or create a lot of smoke. Fortunately you have us, so you have nothing to be worried about. AdBlue is a substance that is added to a vehicle to make the engine work cleaner and should only be added by professionals using its specified filler neck and tank to avoid experiencing the above signs. You should thus just use it if you are completely aware of its procedure so as to prevent your car from misbehaving because of the incorrect usage of AdBlue. But we are capable of helping you embark on your journey regardless if the issue is incorrect fuel or AdBlue contamination.

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.
