Wrong Fuel in Car Pole Moor - Petrol in Diesel Car Pole Moor

It was after 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were seated talking about the weekend's football rankings, ready for the 8th job that day to come in. Before long we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage and filled petrol in a diesel Pole Moor rental car in error. She was very affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction well done in my mind!

Signs of wrong fuel

The signs of wrong fuel are quite evident, but in most situations you might not be able to observe all of them. Nonetheless, if you were driving, and suddenly you notice that your car is emitting too much smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the vehicle loses power slowly regardless of how much energy you are applying on the accelerator and eventually comes to a halt, then there is little doubt that you are dealing with an incorrect fuel in your car issue.

---

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 deal with such issues in future. Engaging in mistakes like speeding, concentrating on different things and allowing the autopilot do it all especially when driving a vehicle that you are unfamiliar with for instance a borrowed or hired vehicle is highly discouraged.

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

A sputtering engine with very low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. You should know that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your car consumes diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine resulting in an untimely stop.

A lot of modern diesel engines utilize AdBlue, a system that reduces the air pollution of the engine. Having the correct ratio of AdBlue to fuel is critical, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If somebody directly added this to your tank not realizing the proper tank to put it in, your engine will be in big trouble because it's is wrong to mix it with fuel. You will start to notice similar signs mentioned above but you should not be worried about it. Just bear in mind what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for assistance and we'll be there".

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.

• 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 and 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.
