Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and I was en route to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel Ettingshall. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down along a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I got to the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I had only got it a couple of days back after my old one, which I had had for more than 30 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant woman!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!

In diesel engines, AdBlue is added as fuel additives. It is introduced into the system in measured amounts, from a separate tank installed on the car. It shouldn't be added straight to the fuel tank or the result is catastrophic. The problem you will observe is just like having your car with a wrong fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ettingshall - Petrol in Diesel Car Ettingshall

What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Monday and I was en route to assist an older lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Ettingshall. She informed us that she had left the filling station and pulled up in a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had just got it a couple of days back because my former one, which I had for more than twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant woman!

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 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.
