Wrong Fuel in Car Frogholt - Petrol in Diesel Car Frogholt

A customer rang us from his house on a street. He said, "My vehicle (a Frogholt) is not starting up and is making dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top.

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your vehicle behave badly. It will make it exhibit similar symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be changed.

AdBlue is a solution which is used eliminate hazardous gases from the engine's exhaust, and if it is put in the diesel tank then it can also cause the same issues. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should only be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

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 Kent 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.
