Wrong Fuel in Car Carleton - Petrol in Diesel Car Carleton

I enjoyed a perfect day fishing on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a new family who were on vacation. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Carleton, and were around half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I listened to the woman telling off her husband for actually being so silly. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this occurs frequently and that it is nothing at all to fret about, even so he still had an earful by his wife. Poor boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

Issues in the fuel system may not just because of wrong fuel in the vehicle. Contamination with other liquid such as water can cause your engine to stop from running or function normally. The signs stipulated above will also be seen in your engine even though it's only water contamination to either petrol or diesel run engine.

A lot of modern diesel engines make use of AdBlue, a system that lowers the air pollution of the engine. Having the right ratio of AdBlue to fuel is significant, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue.

So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.


Diesel or petrol being extremely flammable should be managed by an expert with the right equipment. Otherwise, the fuel may ignite and what initially was easy to contain may turn into a catastrophe.

A young lady with her youngsters in her diesel Carleton had filled her car with £45 of petrol at the BP filling station.

We reassured her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be up and running soon. When we got there she was still distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
