Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be careful in your next stop at the fuel station to refill. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.

  • You're in a circumstance where you are confused while in a hurry
  • Not focusing - being on autopilot
  • Car you are utilizing is borrowed, you're not familiar with it

You should also know that wrong fuel is not the only problem that can cause your vehicle to show the aforementioned signs. The presence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your car not run smoothly and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. So, should you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.

AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine run with less pollution. However, it should just be utilized by professionals who understand where and how to use it. If not, your vehicle will start running badly. To avoid any issues, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. When someone who is inexperienced in administering AdBlue correctly, it is very common that they miss the mark.

The signs of AdBlue contamination also include the car not running smoothly and eventually stopping. Good news is we are at all times ready to help. Our technicians are not just knowledgeable on how to deal with this issue but also on how to address the problem of incorrect fuel and water contamination.


Diesel or petrol being extremely flammable should be managed by an expert with the right equipment. Fuel for instance, can ignite easily, turning a small issue into a disastrous one. If you have a car issue that involves fuel or other flammable materials, we advise you talk to an expert as your first point of action, as opposed to handling it by yourself or involving a friend.

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.
