He said, "This is the second time I have put fuel in my car since I paid for it and I have no idea of how to proceed." He was also afraid as his step father had just recently paid for the car.

We did the fuel drain on his vehicle and he mentioned how amazed he was that it was taken care of so quickly and with not much problem .



Indicators of incorrect fuel

After refueling your tank, your vehicle may begin showing some signs but you might not be able to catch them all. However, if you were driving a vehicle, and abruptly you observe that your car is giving off excessive smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the car loses power gradually 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 a wrong fuel in your vehicle issue.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!



All that said, you will most likely be more careful in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. You'll want to go over what are the possible causes of why it happened.

  • You're in a situation where you are distressed while in a hurry
  • You're in autopilot mode and not checking
  • Being in a vehicle you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a vehicle

Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.

You should keep in mind that the contamination of fuel by water is another issue that can cause the same signs described above. It does not matter whether your car uses diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also be aware of it.

Diesel engines (modern ones) today make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous contaminants in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of appropriate ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank installed somewhere. If you hire somebody to directly add this to your tank without knowing the correct procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. You will start observing the same symptoms mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it. Here's our message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll always be your helping hand any time of the day, anywhere you are".

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.
