Things to search for in case you have put wrong fuel in vehicle

After refueling your tank, your vehicle may start showing some signs but you might not be able to grasp them all. In case your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your vehicle starts losing power regardless of how much you press the accelerator, or if your vehicle comes to a stop, then you can suspect that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.

---

That experience of refilling your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be careful in the future. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.

• You're in a hurry and confused on what to do
• Not concentrating - being on autopilot
• You're using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired

You should also bear in mind that incorrect fuel is not the only problem that can cause your car to show the aforementioned indications. The presence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your vehicle not run efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. So, if you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.

A lot of modern diesel engines utilize AdBlue, a system that lowers the pollution of the engine. Having the correct ratio of AdBlue to fuel is essential, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If you hire somebody to directly add this to your tank without knowing the right procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. The signs you will see is just like what were cited above but don't worry we get it fixed. Here's our message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll be your helping hand any time of the day, anywhere you are".

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.

I am not actually that keen on doing work on weekends, and last week was the same. I'd just come away from home after a superb roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was off to deal with a gentleman because he put the wrong fuel in his Strawberry Hill. He was stationed nearby so it wasn't long before I got to him. As I drove up right behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and did not grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any kind of damage simply by running it?" I explained generally there probably should not be any damage and that also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and then one more pleased client could carry on with his ride without the fuss. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make earning a living on Sundays just that small bit less painful to me!
