Wrong Fuel in Car Sheldwich - Petrol in Diesel Car Sheldwich

I had a perfect afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a young couple who were on holiday. They'd broken down after putting diesel in their Sheldwich, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal chastising her hubby for actually being so daft. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass on daily basis and that it is nothing to stress about, but he yet still got an earful by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved so long and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would never ever live it down!

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

There are other causes of engine problems aside from filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. This is a serious problem that can completely damage the fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to exhibit similar symptoms. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nonetheless, if this is added straight to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's precisely why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. Hence if someone who is not aware of this process tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

So, if your problem is wrong fuel, water contaminated fuel, broken fuel filters or AdBlue into the wrong tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus enabling you to continue with your journey.

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.
