Wrong Fuel in Car Belle Vue - Petrol in Diesel Car Belle Vue

A motorist driving nearby called us as soon as she managed to get her misfueled car to her office. She had put unleaded in her diesel Belle Vue and, like countless prior to her, believed that she would be able to simply fill the vehicle with diesel and it'd be no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her office. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted within 60 minutes whilst she was at work. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely glad you repaired my vehicle."

That experience of refilling your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be very careful in the future. From now on, consider those common causes of putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle:

  • You are in a situation where you are confused while in a hurry
  • Not concentrating - being on autopilot
  • Vehicle you are using is borrowed, you're not familiar with it

Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above symptoms.

A sputtering engine with very low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. It does not matter whether your car utilizes diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also pay attention to it.

Addition of too much or too low AdBlue to your car tank also results in excessive smoke from the exhaust and a sputtering engine too. Luckily you have us, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. The wrong ratio of this fuel additive which is utilized to boost the working of the engine can result from being added directly together with fuel instead of using its own automatic dosing system and tank. You should thus only use it if you are totally aware of its process so as to prevent your vehicle from misbehaving because of the wrong usage of AdBlue. You should thus keep in mind that whether it is wrong fuel or adding AdBlue directly, we can help you hit back on the road.


The Right Kit and Know-how

You could save a few quid by doing the works alone or by your good friend that knows about cars instead of asking the professionals. That's a mistaken belief!

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 West Yorkshire 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.
