Signs of the Problem and its Causes

You will likely have just experienced the signs of having the wrong fuel in your vehicle, 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:

• Spluttering engine and it won't run efficiently
• The exhaust releases lots of smoke
• Engine seems powerless now matter how hard you push the accelerator
• Your vehicle will ultimately stop working altogether

Now that you are aware of the signs of wrong fuel in a car, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more careful in future and be certain of not making the mistake. Engaging in mistakes like speeding, concentrating on different things and letting the autopilot do all of it especially when driving a vehicle that you are unfamiliar with for example a borrowed or hired car is discouraged.

Apart from incorrect fuel in your vehicle, water contamination can also cause your vehicle to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you use as a propellant. Thus, if your car starts showing the aforementioned signs, you should not only suspect wrong fuel but also water contamination.

Adblue is a diesel system additive often put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less dirty. But it can only be utilized by individuals who know how to use it correctly. If not, your vehicle will start behaving badly. To avoid any issues, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. The possibility of misusing AdBlue is quite high particularly if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.

The signs of AdBlue contamination also include the car not moving perfectly and eventually stopping. Fortunately, we are here for you. Our technicians are not just experienced on how to deal with this problem but also on how to handle the problem 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:

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.
