There are other reasons for engine troubles apart from wrong fuel in a car. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. This is a serious issue that can totally damage the fuel filters.

You can also observe the same signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nonetheless, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's precisely why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

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.

Last monday a youngster called us because his Otford stopped working in the middle of the road. He had inadvertently put unleaded in the diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to stop. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives close by, reached him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 2 a.m., I really appreciate it."
