Wrong Fuel in Car Scholemoor - Petrol in Diesel Car Scholemoor

A person phoned us to state that he had unfortunately piped the wrong fuel into his diesel Scholemoor. "What a pain! I can't believe I put unleaded in my beautiful diesel car!" It took our engineer approximately fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. He carefully purged the fuel system and then put clean fuel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealership rates to get the work professionally done.



Symptoms and Causes

You will likely have just experienced signs of having the incorrect fuel in your car, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, in case:

  • Spluttering engine and it won't run smoothly
  • The exhaust releases lots of smoke
  • Even you fully press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
  • Your car will eventually stop running altogether

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!



Now that you know the indicators of wrong fuel in a vehicle, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more careful in future and be certain of not making the mistake. Engaging in mistakes like speeding, concentrating on different things and allowing the autopilot do it all particularly when driving a vehicle that you are unfamiliar with for example a borrowed or hired vehicle is highly discouraged.

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

A sputtering engine with very low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. It does not matter whether your car utilizes diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to run roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also be aware of it.

Adblue is a diesel system additive usually put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less polluted. But it can only be used by individuals who know how to use it correctly. Or else, it would cause issues and problems to your car. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. When somebody who is inexperienced in administering AdBlue correctly, it is common that they miss the mark.

Such a problem is also indicated by the vehicle not running smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Luckily, we are here for you. Our technicians are not just experienced on how to address this issue but also on how to solve the issue of incorrect fuel and water contamination.


Flammable materials need not just adequate expertise, but also a variety of relevant equipment to manage them properly. Otherwise, the fuel may ignite and what initially was easy to contain may turn into a disaster. If you have a vehicle issue that involves fuel or other flammable materials, we recommend you speak to an expert as your first point of action, as opposed to handling it by yourself or involving a friend.

Besides, our technicians are situated throughout the area, and they have all the skill sets and knowledge, and will handle the problem for you quickly and at an affordable price.


Safe and Legal Disposal

Draining, storage and disposal of contaminated fuel is part of the process when helping our clients who have put the incorrect fuel in their vehicle. To firms 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 any other type of containers. If you can't do it, on your behalf we'll do the disposal based on the laws.


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


Will it take long

Our mechanics usually take less than 30 minutes to solve the issue. Hence you don’t have to worry about standing on the street for a long time. And as long as our technicians have reached your place, rest assured that you will quickly resume your journey. You can always start getting ready to continue your journey when our technician shows up at the place because they carry out their repairs in the shortest time possible.

Finally, I am very thankful that you made that call. Giving us that call was the initial step in avoiding a road nightmare as a result of incorrect fuel in your vehicle.

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.

This was most definitely the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It was rather uneventful so far, and me and Ryan were sitting around browsing several old papers. It was an unusual calm moment. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The person explained: "I only just finished my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in a Scholemoor". We told him to inform us where he was and we headed out, reaching him only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for showing up so promptly. As we were returning to base we noticed two young women on the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their elation.
