Wrong Fuel in Car Bradford - Petrol in Diesel Car Bradford

The owner of a Bradford was regretful that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the road and it coughed and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put the wrong fuel in my diesel car," is what he shared with us the first time he phoned. To be truthful, when he first phoned us he said he would like to shop around, but he called us back before long because our pricing and call-out times were the most appropriate. Needless to say, our technician had him again doing his deliveries well within the time we had quoted.



Causes and Obvious Indicators

You will probably have just encountered the signs of having the wrong fuel in your vehicle, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, in case:

  • Your engine will splutter and not run smoothly
  • If you see the exhaust, you will notice plenty of smoke coming out
  • Your vehicle won't have any power regardless of how hard you press the accelerator
  • The vehicle will stop on its own

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!



All that said, you will possibly be more careful in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.

  • You're in a situation where you are distressed while in a hurry
  • You're in autopilot mode and not checking
  • Being in a car or truck you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a vehicle

Other Fuel Issues in Bradford

Putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle isn't the only thing that can cause problems. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your car to function poorly and eventually stop altogether. It doesn't matter if your vehicle runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause similar symptoms to those described above.

Diesel engines (modern ones) nowadays utilize AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollution in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of appropriate ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank attached somewhere. If you get someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the right procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. You will start to notice similar signs mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it. Here's our personal message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll always be your helping hand any time of the day, wherever you are".

Wrong Fuel in Car Bradford - Petrol in Diesel Car Bradford

A rather concerned driver called us from the Shell filling station to inform us that he put unleaded in to his diesel Bradford; he wasn't really quite sure how he'd done it. We assured him it was no worry and quickly had our engineer with him to clean the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having taken away the bad fuel, he was subsequently back on the road. He told us; "I am honestly shocked I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the technician who came to take care of the fuel drain was very fantastic - he didn't make me seem ridiculous."

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.
