AdBlue and Water Contamination
Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your car behave badly. It will make it exhibit the same symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. This situation of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.
AdBlue if added improperly it can also show the same symptoms in your vehicle. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should just be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be done by someone who knows the correct place to put it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Kilndown - Petrol in Diesel Car Kilndown
It was after five pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing going over the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station and put petrol in a diesel Kilndown rental by mistake. She was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction well done in my mind!

A driver who had sadly put the wrong fuel in his diesel Kilndown called us for a fuel drain at the Tesco filling station. He had decided to top up before continuing on to the local holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded as opposed to diesel which wasn't a wonderful way to start to our getaway." It was definitely no challenge in any way for our technical engineer to go out and carry out the fuel drain. We hope the family enjoyed their vacation.
