A gentleman had broken down near a road. His Stanley Ferry car had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was wrong until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car.

Signs of wrong fuel

When you refuel your vehicle tank with the wrong fuel, your car may start giving many signals that should get you alarmed, unfortunately, you may be not able to master them all. If your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your vehicle starts losing power regardless of how much you press the accelerator, or if your vehicle comes to a stop, then you can suspect that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!



So in the future, regardless of whether you are unfamiliar with the car or the autopilot is in control, you don't have to panic. Having this information, knowing signs of incorrect fuel in your vehicle or other issues should be easy. It would not matter if you are concentrating on the problem or not, you will just identify it.

Presence of water in fuel is another issue

A sputtering engine with low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination. You should know that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your vehicle uses diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine leading to an untimely stop.

Diesel engines (modern ones) these days utilize AdBlue to reduce nitrous toxins in the exhaust fumes. Having the right ratio of AdBlue to fuel is crucial, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If somebody isn't aware of this and attempts 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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
