Wrong Fuel in Car Robin Hood - Petrol in Diesel Car Robin Hood

A woman with a full car of children in her diesel Robin Hood had put £45 of petrol at the Texaco service station. She phoned us weeping and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what might happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that the car would be alright and that she would be up and running in no time at all. When we got there she was visible upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the little ones in the back."

Symptoms and Causes

You will likely have just experienced the signs of having the incorrect 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:

• The engine won't work and it's spluttering
• The exhaust produces lots of smoke
• Even you totally press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
• The car will stop on its own

All that said, you will possibly be more careful in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your car. From now on, be aware of those common causes of putting the wrong fuel in your car:

• You're in a situation where you are distressed while in a hurry
• Not focusing - being on autopilot
• Car you are utilizing is borrowed, you're not familiar with it

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

Presence of water in fuel is another thing which can make your car behave in the way explained above. Hence you also need to consider it. 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 are in a situation of doubt.

The running of the engine is generally improved utilizing a diesel system additive referred to as AdBlue. But it can only be used by individuals who know how to use it correctly. Or else, it would cause troubles and problems to your car. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to encounter wrong AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by somebody who is not aware of the process.

Signs of AdBlue contamination also include the car not running perfectly and eventually stopping. Luckily, you have us. Our mobile technicians are used to coping with a wide range of vehicular problems, not just water contamination or having the incorrect fuel in the vehicle but this kind of issue too.

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.
