Wrong Fuel in Car Mount - Petrol in Diesel Car Mount

A couple of days ago a man called us soon after his Mount died on the street. He had mistakenly put unleaded in the diesel motor and drove so far as the road before having to pull up. It was yet in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who resides nearby, got to him in about 10 minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I really appreciate it."



Symptoms and Causes

Now that you have personally experienced what it's like to have the wrong fuel in your vehicle, you may be be careful next time. And to completely understand signs of the problem here's a list for reference:

  • The engine won't work and it's spluttering
  • You may see a lot of smoke from the exhaust
  • Even you fully press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
  • Your car will ultimately stop working altogether

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!



So in the future, regardless of whether you are not familiar with the car or the autopilot is in control, you don't have to worry. Since you are now informed about the signs of incorrect fuel or have encountered it, once it occurs you should be able to recognize it. Knowing the problem won't be difficult anymore even without extensively examining your vehicle.

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

A sputtering engine with low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination. It will make your car behave abnormally and ultimately stops regardless of whether it runs on diesel or petrol thus you should also suspect it if you are in a situation of doubt.

Diesel engines (modern ones) in these days use AdBlue to reduce nitrous contaminants in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of appropriate ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank installed somewhere. If someone isn't mindful of this and tries to add it straight into the tank, it will cause problems. Again, the symptoms are very like those described above, and we can put things right for you. 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 very flammable needs to be handled by a professional with the right equipment. If not, it can cause fire, making the whole scenario catastrophic yet it could have been managed with ease. If you have a vehicle issue that involves fuel or other flammable materials, we suggest you speak to an expert as your first point of action, as opposed to dealing with it yourself or involving a friend.

We are experts in coping with whatever car problems you have. Our technicians are well distributed all around the country and on call 24/7, all set to deal with a wide range of problems quickly and efficiently, at a reasonable and economical price.


Safe and Legal Disposal

When we provide our service of cleaning your engine because of wrong fuel, it's already a package that we take care of draining, storage and the process of discarding the waste fuel. To companies that have these fuel wastes, we offer this service separately. We can drain any type of fuel container as long as they are all accessible. These containers include mobile bowser, fixed storage tank or other type of containers. Once the contaminated fuel has been collected, we can properly and legally dump it on your behalf.


Need an invoice for the charges? Don’t be concerned, we will give it to you

We do know that some of our clients are company workers who have to table any evidence of spending to their employer or may need some proof of payment for the insurance provider to process their claims, therefore, we provide a VAT invoice to make their work easier.


In the unlikely event that wrong fuel or contaminated fuel isn't the issue, our experienced technician will be able to determine that, and the likely cause and we will just make a nominal call out cost, not the originally quoted price.


How long does it take to drain the wrong fuel

Works by the mechanic won't take long, so you don't need to wait for hours. We typically target around 30 minutes. After that, you will be back on the road.

So, after calling us putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle won't have to be the nightmare you initially thought it was going to be.

Wrong Fuel in Car Mount - Petrol in Diesel Car Mount

A relatively concerned motorist phoned us from the Total filling station to tell us that he had put petrol in his diesel Mount; he wasn't really certain how he'd managed to do it. We assured him it was absolutely no worry and soon enough had our engineer with him to clean the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having taken away the incorrect fuel, he was soon enough back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the technician who came out to carry out the fuel drain was really pleasant - he didn't make me feel an idiot."

The following is a list of typical wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Lack of vehicle power

  • Issues starting the car
  • Abnormal fumes

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 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.

It was just after six pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were resting talking over the footy rankings, prepared for the 8th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mount lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to get the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from us, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. One more job done well in my books!
