It truly was what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 3 in the morning and almost noone was around. It was fairly quiet until now, and Paul and I were loafing around looking through a couple of old papers. That was a rare peaceful hour. Actually it was that relaxing that the moment the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end told me: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a Thwaites Brow in error". I told him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was located and we headed out, arriving only 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the car. He said thanks a lot for showing up so rapidly. While we were going back home we spotted two women on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled over to change it, to their delight.



You may be doubting the presence of wrong fuel in your car or truck, but you are unsure. We have many similar cases of suspicions experienced by our customers, only for our technicians to find out a totally different problem upon arrival. To avoid any doubt, try having these signs of the wrong fuel in your fingertip. Look out for signs that are clear indications of wrong fuel, such as a non-smooth or spluttering engine, excessive smoke coming out of your exhaust, and often forcing your vehicle to a stop as a result.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!



That experience of filling up your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be careful in the future. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.

  • You're in a hurry and confused on what precisely to do
  • Out of concentration since you are on autopilot
  • Vehicle you are utilizing is borrowed, you are not familiar with it

You should also be aware that incorrect fuel is not the only issue that can cause your car to show the above indications. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car not run smoothly and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. Thus, if your vehicle starts showing the above signs, you should not only suspect wrong fuel but also water contamination.

A lot of modern diesel engines use AdBlue, a system that decreases the pollution of the engine. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of correct ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank installed somewhere. If someone isn't aware of this and attempts to add it straight into the tank, it will create problems. Again, the symptoms are very like those described above, and we can put things right for you. Just bear in mind what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for assistance and we'll be there".

A guy broken down on a street needed a fuel drain close to a month ago. His Thwaites Brow was broken down on the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he called us but a bit concerned to get his car from the road because he was triggering some congestion. We got to him inside fifteen minutes as our drainer had finished his previous job. He said, "I just don't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and broke down right here! My car was coughing I basically had to pull over and after that it just conked."

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.
