Wrong Fuel in Car Howden Clough - Petrol in Diesel Car Howden Clough

I am not ever very keen on doing work Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had only just come away from home after eating a magnificent lunch made for me by the wife, and I was off to help a gentleman after he had put the incorrect fuel in his Howden Clough. He was stationed nearby so I arrived with him almost immediately. As I drove up at the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about damage simply by driving it?" I explained that generally there should not be problems and also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. Naturally I removed the fuel from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then yet another contented client had the ability to continue on his traveling with no bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes working on Sundays just a tiny bit less painful in my opinion!



You may be doubting the presence of wrong fuel in your car or truck, but you are not sure. We have heard situations of customers having the same suspicions only for our technicians to realise a whole different problem. To avoid any doubt, try having the following signs of the incorrect fuel in your fingertip. If you hear your engine spluttering and not running nicely, or observe too much smoke from your exhaust causing no power to the car and hence forcing the vehicle to a stop, then that is clear indication of burning the wrong fuel.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!



With those signs in mind, regardless of your experience with cars, in future circumstances you can rest easy. Having this information, knowing symptoms of wrong fuel in your vehicle or other problems should be easy. And the situation whether you are focusing or not, will not matter either.

Besides incorrect fuel in your vehicle, water contamination can also cause your vehicle to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you utilize as a propellant. This implies that if you encounter any of the earlier mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

A lot of modern diesel engines use AdBlue, a system that cuts down the pollution of the engine. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of correct ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank mounted somewhere. If you hire somebody to directly add this to your tank without knowing the proper procedure, it's more likely to cause trouble to your engine. You will start to notice similar signs mentioned above but you should not be worried about it. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can definitely help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.

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.
