Wrong Fuel in Car Overtown - Petrol in Diesel Car Overtown
Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Tuesday and we were on the way to assist an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Overtown. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down in a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she said, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel since I'd only just got it a week ago right after my previous one, which I'd used for about 25 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a precious woman!

We Get you Going Again
BMW 328 West Yorkshire
We learn from experiences and mistakes so we should not get too down so much whenever we encounter such situations since they make us more careful and equip us with the appropriate mentality and abilities on how to deal with such issues in future. Engaging in mistakes like speeding, concentrating on different things and allowing the autopilot do all of it particularly when driving a car that you are unfamiliar with for instance a borrowed or hired vehicle is discouraged.
Presence of water in fuel is another problem
Presence of water in fuel is yet another thing which can make your car behave in the manner mentioned above. Hence you also need to consider it. You should be aware that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your vehicle uses diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine leading to an untimely stop.
The running of the engine is generally enhanced using a diesel system additive called AdBlue. It is commonly administered incorrectly, as such, it is important that it is done by someone who knows how to utilize it. Or else, it would cause issues and problems to your vehicle. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The possibility of misusing AdBlue is very high especially if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.
Signs of AdBlue contamination also include the car not moving smoothly and eventually stopping. The great thing is that we are here to help. Our technicians are not just skilled on how to deal with this issue but also on how to deal with the issue of incorrect fuel and water 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
