Wrong Fuel in Car Stainland - Petrol in Diesel Car Stainland

The driver of a Stainland was regretful that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car when he got as far as the road and it coughed and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel car," is what he informed us the very first time he called. In all honesty, when he initially called us he said he'd check around, but he phoned us back soon enough because our price and on-scene times were the most desirable. As you can imagine, our technician had him once again performing his deliveries well within the time we'd quoted.



Indicators of incorrect fuel

The signs of wrong fuel are quite evident, but in most instances you might not be able to observe all of them. However, if you were driving, and abruptly you observe that your car is giving off too much smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the car loses power slowly regardless of how much energy you are applying on the accelerator and ultimately comes to a stop, then there is little doubt that you are dealing with an incorrect fuel in your car issue.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!

Car or truck troubles are not attributed only to incorrect fuel in the fuel system. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your vehicle to run poorly and eventually stop altogether. It doesn't matter if your vehicle runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause similar symptoms to those described above.

Incorrect usage of AdBlue can also cause your engine to sputter, stop or create lots of smoke. However, we are always ready to assist you. The incorrect ratio of this fuel additive which is used to boost the working of the engine can result from being added directly along with fuel instead of utilizing its own automatic dosing system and tank.

Wrong Fuel in Car Stainland - Petrol in Diesel Car Stainland

Last week a young man contacted us because his Stainland stopped working along the road. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel car and had managed to get to the road before having to stop. It was really early in the day and our technician, who resides nearby, was with him in approximately twenty minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your timely response, particularly at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Stainland - Fuel Rescue Stainland

I am not necessarily so keen on carrying out work on Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had just come away from the wife and kids following a tasty Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman because he filled the incorrect fuel in his Stainland. He was somewhere nearby so it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he said to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about damage simply by driving it?" I revealed there probably should not be any problems and that also I'd personally get the fuel drained immediately. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and thus another content motorist could continue his ride without any subsequent fuss. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and this is what can make earning a living on weekends a tiny bit easier for me!

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.
