Wrong Fuel in Car Cross Gates - Petrol in Diesel Car Cross Gates

It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting talking over the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage and filled petrol in a diesel Cross Gates lease car by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. A job done well in my books!

We have heard situations of clients having similar suspicions only for our technicians to realise a whole different problem.

The fact that you now know the signs of incorrect fuel in car or have experienced it, it will help you notice the issue if it occurs again in future.

Putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle isn't the only thing that can cause problems. Water can contaminate your fuel system too, causing the engine to stop or run abnormally. The signs stipulated above will also be seen in your engine even though it is just water contamination to either petrol or diesel run engine.

Adblue is a diesel system additive frequently put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less dirty. But it can only be utilized by individuals who know how to use it appropriately. Or else, it would cause troubles and problems to your car. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to encounter incorrect AdBlue usage, especially if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the procedure.

Just like when a vehicle has wrong fuel, AdBlue also causes the vehicle not to move smoothly and eventually cause the car to stop. Luckily, you have us. Our technicians are not just knowledgeable on how to deal with this issue but also on how to deal with the problem of incorrect fuel and water contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Cross Gates - Petrol in Diesel Car Cross Gates

A somewhat alarmed customer phoned us from the Texaco filling station to advise us that he had put unleaded in his diesel Cross Gates; he wasn't totally certain how he'd managed to do it. We said to him it was not a hassle and soon enough had our man out to him to drain the wrong fuel from his vehicle. Having removed the bad fuel, he was almost immediately back on the road. He told us; "I am honestly shocked I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the man who arrived to undertake the fuel drain was really pleasant - he didn't make me look and feel silly."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Cross Gates - Fuel Rescue Cross Gates

A driver with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Cross Gates had put £40 of petrol at the Co Op service station. She phoned us weeping and really upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the car would be ok and that she would be ready to go soon. When we got there she was still upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the kids in the back."

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.
