Wrong Fuel in Car Hough Side - Petrol in Diesel Car Hough Side

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Sunday and we were on the way to help an old lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Hough Side. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a rural road on route to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I got to the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she told me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a couple of days back after my old one, which I had for about twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant lady!

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's a list of the signs:

• Your engine will splutter and not run smoothly
• If you notice the exhaust, you will notice lots of smoke coming out
• Even you totally press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
• The car will stop on its own

---

We learn from experiences and mistakes so we shouldn't get too down so much once we face such scenarios since they make us more careful and equip us with the appropriate mentality and abilities on how to handle such issues in future. You should avoid being in a hurry, not focusing when you are on autopilot, and being in a car you are borrowing or hiring so as to avoid encountering the same mistake.

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

A sputtering engine with low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination. It will make your car behave abnormally and ultimately stops regardless of whether it uses diesel or petrol thus you should also suspect it if you find yourself in a situation of doubt.

The incorrect filling of AdBlue is another thing which can cause your car to show signs such as sputtering, release of a lot of smoke and even stoppage. Luckily you have us, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. AdBlue is an additive utilized to enhance the anti-pollution system of the engine and should be used by a professional, in fact, it should be added using its own tank instead of being added directly alongside with fuel. You should thus just use it if you are fully aware of its procedure so as to prevent your vehicle from misbehaving due to the incorrect usage of AdBlue. But once again, we've got you covered for our technicians can address the problem regardless of whether it is wrong fuel that got you stuck or wrong usage of AdBlue.

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.
