By the time we arrived with her she was not distressed any more and was rather intrigued in watching our technician complete the fuel drain on her Wortley.

You may be suspecting the presence of wrong fuel in your car, but you are not sure. Some clients have in the past reported the issue of wrong fuel only to realize later that it was another issue. For you to make sure your car is experiencing problems due to wrong fuel, we have put together some of the usual signs for you. If you hear your engine spluttering and not running efficiently, or notice too much smoke from your exhaust causing no power to the car and hence forcing the car to a stop, then that is clear indication of burning the wrong fuel.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!



That experience of filling up your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be careful in the future. You'll want to go over what are the potential causes of why it happened.

  • Being in a hurry or flustered
  • Out of concentration because you are on autopilot
  • You're using a vehicle you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired

Other than wrong fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your vehicle to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you utilize as a propellant. This means that if you encounter any of the previously mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

A lot of modern diesel engines utilize AdBlue, a system that reduces the air pollution of the engine. The correct amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very crucial. It's usually mounted on a separate tank to prevent directly mixing to your fuel tank. If somebody directly added this to your tank not knowing the correct tank to put it in, your engine will be in big trouble since it is is wrong to mix it with fuel. The signs you will notice is just like what were cited above but don't worry we get it fixed. Just keep 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".

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.
