Wrong Fuel in Car Scholes - Petrol in Diesel Car Scholes

A fairly concerned driver called us from the Total petrol station to tell us that he had put unleaded into his diesel Scholes; he wasn't quite certain how he'd managed to do it. We advised him it was not a worry and soon had our technician with him to clear the wrong fuel from his vehicle. Having removed the contaminated fuel, he was shortly back behind the wheel. He told us; "I am really surprised I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the guy who arrived to carry out the fuel drain was especially fantastic - he didn't make me look and feel silly."



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 cautious next time. And to completely understand the signs of the problem here's a list for future reference:

  • Your engine will splutter and not work efficiently
  • You may see lots of smoke coming from the exhaust
  • Even you totally press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
  • The car will stop on its own

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!



Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be mindful in your next stop at the fuel station to refill. You'll want to go over what exactly are the potential causes of why it happened.

  • You're in a hurry and confused on what precisely to do
  • Not concentrating - being on autopilot
  • You're using a vehicle you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

You should keep in mind that the contamination of fuel by water is another problem that can cause the same signs described above. It will make your car behave abnormally and ultimately stops regardless of whether it uses diesel or petrol thus you should also suspect it if you are in a situation of doubt.

The running of the engine is typically enhanced using a diesel system additive known as AdBlue. But it can only be utilized by individuals who know how to use it properly. Otherwise, it may end up causing problems to your vehicle. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The probability of misusing AdBlue is very high particularly if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.

Signs of AdBlue contamination also include the car not running smoothly and eventually stopping. Good news is we are always willing to help. Our mobile technicians are used to handling a great deal of car problems, not only water contamination or having the wrong fuel in the car but this type of problem too.


The Right Kit and Know-how

You could save a few quid by doing the works by yourself or by your good friend that knows about cars instead of asking the professionals. That's a mistaken belief! Our mobile technicians on post around the place are all properly trained on all of the services we offer, whatever vehicle it is. Specialist tools are all in the van to each of the mechanics so they can quickly access them even in remote areas. Bear in mind, fuel is designed to ignite and shouldn't be handled by anybody who isn't fully trained to do so.


Getting Rid of Waste Fuel

Draining, storage and disposal of contaminated fuel is part of the procedure when helping our clients who have put the incorrect fuel in their car. To firms that have these fuel wastes, we deliver this service separately. Whether you have a fixed storage tank, a mobile bowser or a selection of containers full of contaminated fuel, as long as we can get access to them, we can drain them. On your behalf, we can then dispose the waste fuel safely and according to the law of the land.


We will happily give you an invoice for the charges

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


Once our mechanic arrives, you will be surprised at just how fast they can drain and flush your fuel system and have sufficient nice clean fuel in your tank, to get you to the nearest fuel station. If your vehicle has suffered other incorrect fuel related problems like a broken fuel filter or a flat battery, our mechanic will be able to advise you and sometimes change parts and jump start your vehicle to get you on your way.


There is also a possibility, though it's a rare case, that the problem is actually not incorrect or contaminated fuel, do not worry, you can still go back to your journey. He will distinguish what really the problem is and its cause. Instead of the agreed quoted price, he'll only ask you a reasonable call out charge.

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.
