Wrong Fuel in Car Booth Wood - Petrol in Diesel Car Booth Wood

I had appreciated a great afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new couple away. They had broken down after adding petrol into their Booth Wood, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this problem takes place all the time and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, however he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. Poor boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed bon voyage and considered what my wife would ask me if I made the same mistake... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

A sputtering engine with low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination. You should be aware that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your car consumes diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine resulting in an untimely stop.

The running of the engine is commonly enhanced utilizing a diesel system additive referred to as AdBlue. However, it should just be used by experts who understand where and how to use it. Otherwise, it may end up creating problems to your vehicle. To avoid any problems, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. The possibility of misusing AdBlue is pretty high particularly if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.

Signs of AdBlue contamination also include the vehicle not moving smoothly and eventually stopping. Good news is we are at all times ready to help. Our technicians are not just experienced on how to handle this issue but also on how to handle the issue of wrong fuel and water contamination.

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:

    • 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.
