Wrong Fuel in Car Clayton - Petrol in Diesel Car Clayton

What a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were on my way to assist an old lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Clayton. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded on a country road along the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I got to the location and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only got it a short while ago right after my old car, which I used for in excess of 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a precious lady!

Causes and Obvious Symptoms

You will likely have just experienced signs of having the incorrect fuel in your car, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, just in case:

• The engine won't work and it's spluttering
• You may observe a lot of smoke from the exhaust
• Even you fully press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
• Your car will ultimately stop working altogether

That experience of refilling your tank with the wrong fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be careful in the future. You'll want to go over what exactly are the possible causes of why it happened.

• You're in a hurry and confused on what exactly to do
• Out of concentration as you are on autopilot
• Being in a vehicle you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a car

Other than wrong fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your car to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you use as a propellant. This means that if you encounter any of the earlier mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

The incorrect filling of AdBlue is another factor which can cause your car to exhibit signs like sputtering, release of a lot of smoke and even stoppage. Luckily you have us, so you have absolutely nothing to be worried about. The wrong ratio of this fuel additive which is utilized to improve the working of the engine can result from being added directly together with fuel instead of utilizing its own automatic dosing system and tank. You should thus only use it if you are totally aware of its procedure so as to prevent your car from misbehaving because of the wrong usage of AdBlue. But we are capable of helping you embark on your journey regardless if the problem 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.
