Wrong Fuel in Car Boothroyd - Petrol in Diesel Car Boothroyd

I'm not ever excessively inclined to running weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from home following a superb dinner made by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a guy because he put the incorrect fuel in his Boothroyd. He was only nearby hence I arrived on scene very quickly. As I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my thoughts on stuff and did not realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about some damage by running it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be any damage and also that I would personally get the fuel drained at once. Needless to say I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then yet another pleased motorist was able to continue his journey without the difficulty. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes earning a living on Sundays just that tiny bit less painful to me!

The symptoms stipulated above will also be seen in your engine even though it is just water contamination to either petrol or diesel run engine.

A lot of modern diesel engines utilize AdBlue, a system that reduces the air pollution of the engine. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of correct ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank mounted somewhere.

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.
