Wrong Fuel in Car Scotland - Petrol in Diesel Car Scotland
We've done plenty of wrong fuel corrections on cars or trucks filled up with the incorrect fuel. Last week there was a young lady driving her Scotland: "I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle and broke down in the road. You got one of your technicians out to me in around 30 minutes and the car was running again without delay. Fuel Fixer Ltd got me back on the road once again after just 60 minutes. Thanks a mil."
Indicators of incorrect fuel
After refueling your tank, your vehicle may start showing some signs but you might not be able to catch them all. Nevertheless, if your engine starts sputtering or if you start seeing lots of smoke emerging from the exhaust, or your vehicle stops and shows no power at all even though you press the accelerator harder and harder, then it is obvious that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.
Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be very careful in your next stop at the petrol station to refill. You'll want to go over what precisely are the potential causes of why it happened.
- Being in a rush or flustered
- You're in autopilot mode and not checking
- You are using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired
You should also bear in mind that wrong fuel is not the only issue that can cause your vehicle to show the above indications. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your vehicle not work efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. Therefore, if your car starts showing the above signs, you should not only suspect wrong fuel but also water contamination.
AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine run with less pollution. However, it should only be used by professionals who understand where and how to use it. If not, your vehicle will start behaving badly. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to encounter incorrect AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the procedure.
Just like when a vehicle has wrong fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to run smoothly and eventually cause the vehicle to stop. The great thing is that we are here to help. Our technicians are professionals in this field too in addition to troubles dealing with water contamination and incorrect fuel in the vehicle.

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 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.
