What to consider if you have put incorrect fuel in vehicle

After refueling your tank, your car may start showing some signs but you might not be able to understand them all. In the event your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your vehicle starts losing power regardless of how much you press the accelerator, or if your vehicle comes to a halt, then you can suspect that you have put the incorrect fuel in your car.

But there are ways in which you can avoid being in similar situation again and they include not being in a rush, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange vehicle which you are not used to traveling in.

You should also know that wrong fuel is not the only issue that can cause your car to show the above signs. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car not run efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel utilized. Therefore, if your car starts showing the above signs, you should not only suspect wrong fuel but also water contamination.

AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work cleaner. It is commonly administered incorrectly, as such, it is significant that it is done by someone who knows how to use it. If not, your vehicle will start behaving badly. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to encounter incorrect AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by somebody who is not aware of the process.

Such a problem is also shown by the vehicle not moving smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. The great thing is that we are here to help. Our mobile technicians are used to handling a wide range of vehicle issues, not only water contamination or having the incorrect fuel in the car but this type of issue too.

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.
