Wrong Fuel in Car Honley - Petrol in Diesel Car Honley

It truly was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly 2:30am and almost noone was about. It was quite dead until now, and John and I were sitting browsing some old newspapers. That was an unusual peaceful hour. It was indeed that relaxing that the moment my mobile eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end explained: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel Honley by mistake". We told him to tell us exactly where the car was and we left, ending up no more than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the car and he thanked us profusely for coming out so quickly. While we were coming back home we spotted two young ladies at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. So we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

But there are means in which you can avoid being in the same situation once again and they include not being in a rush, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange vehicle which you are not used to traveling in.

Issues in the fuel system may not just because of incorrect 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 if it's only water contamination to either petrol or diesel run engine.

AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work with less pollution. However, it should just be utilized by professionals who understand where and how to use it.

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.
