Wrong Fuel in Car Ben Rhydding - Petrol in Diesel Car Ben Rhydding
We carried out a wrong fuel removal job near a lovely property recently. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to more or less reach home when my car cut out." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was fairly late at night, and did a fuel drain and purge on the Ben Rhydding to everyone's satisfaction.
Indicators of wrong fuel
After refueling your tank, your vehicle may begin experiencing some signs but you might not be able to understand them all. Nevertheless, if you were driving, and abruptly you observe that your car is emitting too much smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the car loses power slowly regardless of how much energy you are applying on the accelerator and ultimately comes to a stop, then there is little doubt that you are dealing with a wrong fuel in your car issue.
That experience of filling up your tank with the wrong fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be cautious in the future. You'll want to go over what exactly are the possible causes of why it happened.
- Being in a hurry or flustered
- Not concentrating - being on autopilot
- Car you are using is borrowed, you're not familiar with it
Other Fuel Issues in Ben Rhydding
Issues in the fuel system may not only due to wrong fuel in the car. Contamination with other liquid such as water can cause your engine to stop from working or function normally. It doesn't matter if your car runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause very similar symptoms to those described above.
A lot of modern diesel engines use AdBlue, a system that reduces the pollution of the engine. The correct amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very important. It's usually mounted on a separate tank to prevent directly mixing to your fuel tank. If someone directly added this to your tank not realizing the correct tank to put it in, your engine will be in big trouble as it's is wrong to mix it with fuel. You will start to notice similar symptoms mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can almost certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
