Wrong Fuel in Car Toftshaw - Petrol in Diesel Car Toftshaw

I'm not necessarily too enthusiastic about running weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids following a lovely Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was off to help a guy after he put the wrong fuel in his Toftshaw. He was stationed nearby and so I arrived with him before long. As I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and didn't grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought on any damage as a result of running it?" I said that generally there should not be problems and that I would get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. Obviously I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and so yet another delighted client was able to carry on with their ride without the need for fuss. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this helps make operating on Sundays that tiny bit less painful for me!



Indicators of incorrect fuel

Whenever you refuel your car tank with the incorrect fuel, your car may start giving many signs that should get you alarmed, unfortunately, you may be unable to master them all. Nonetheless, if your engine starts sputtering or if you start seeing a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or your vehicle stops and shows no power at all even though you push the accelerator harder and harder, then it is obvious that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!



Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be very careful in your next stop at the gas station to refill. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.

  • Being in a hurry or flustered
  • Not focusing - being on autopilot
  • You are using a vehicle you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired

As stated earlier, there are other issues that could be the cause of your car issues aside from incorrect fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar poor vehicle performance, usually ending in your car breaking down. This means that if you encounter any of the earlier mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

Incorrect usage of AdBlue can also cause your engine to sputter, stop or create a lot of smoke. But we can help you resolve similar problem. The incorrect ratio of this fuel additive which is utilized to boost the working of the engine can result from being added directly together with fuel instead of using its own automatic dosing system and tank. Any careless addition will cause a fuel contamination get you stuck on the street with a sputtering engine and low power on your car. You should thus note that whether it is incorrect fuel or adding AdBlue directly, we can help you hit back on the road.

She contacted us sobbing and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what might happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that everything would be fine and that she would be ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked.

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.
