Wrong Fuel in Car Chiserley - Petrol in Diesel Car Chiserley

It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were resting there going over the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chiserley rental. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. Another job done well in my mind!

Things to look for if you have put incorrect fuel in car

After refueling your tank, your vehicle may start showing some signs but you might not be able to grasp them all. Nevertheless, if your engine starts sputtering or if you start seeing a lot 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 car.

Now that you are aware of the signs of wrong fuel in a vehicle, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more cautious in future and be certain of not making the mistake.

But there are means in which you can avoid being in similar situation once again and they include not being in a hurry, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange vehicle which you are not used to traveling in.

Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.

A sputtering engine with 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 car runs on diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also know about it.

AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work with less pollution. It is typically administered incorrectly, as such, it is significant that it is done by someone who knows how to use it. Or else, it would cause troubles and problems to your vehicle. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. When somebody who is inexperienced in administering AdBlue correctly, it is very common that they miss the mark.

Just like when a vehicle has wrong fuel, AdBlue also causes the vehicle not to run smoothly and eventually cause the vehicle to stop. Great news is we are at all times ready to help. Our technicians are professionals in this area too in addition to issues dealing with water contamination and incorrect fuel in the car.

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.
