Wrong Fuel in Car Colden - Petrol in Diesel Car Colden
A customer called us from his place on a road. He pronounced, "My car (a Colden) is not starting up and is generating dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
What to consider if you have put wrong fuel in car
After refueling your tank, your vehicle may start experiencing some signs but you might not be able to understand them all. In the event your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your car starts losing power regardless of how much you press the accelerator, or if your car comes to a stop, then you can suspect that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.

Audi TT RS West Yorkshire
We learn from experiences and mistakes so we should not get too down so much whenever we deal with such situations since they make us more cautious and equip us with the appropriate mentality and abilities on how to deal with such problems in future. You should avoid being in a rush, not focusing when you are on autopilot, and being in a vehicle you are borrowing or hiring in order to avoid having the same mistake.
As stated earlier, there are other issues that could be the cause of your car issues besides wrong fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar bad car performance, generally ending in your vehicle breaking down. This means that if you experience any of the previously mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.
Incorrect usage of AdBlue can also cause your engine to sputter, stop or produce a lot of smoke. Nonetheless, we are always willing to assist you. AdBlue is an additive used to improve the anti-pollution system of the engine and should be used by a professional, in fact, it should be added using its own tank instead of being added directly alongside with fuel. If you are uninformed of this, you can easily make a mistake resulting in a wrong filling of AdBlue and the above signs. You should thus remember that whether it is wrong fuel or adding AdBlue directly, we can help you hit back on the road.

Once the contaminated fuel has been accumulated, we can properly and legally dump it on your behalf.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
