AdBlue and Water Contamination

It will make it show the same symptoms as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to display similar signs.

Tales from our Kingsdown team:
Wrong Fuel in Car Kingsdown - Petrol in Diesel Car Kingsdown
A young lady with her children in her diesel Kingsdown had put £50 of petrol at the Tesco station. She contacted us weeping and really worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We told her that all should be ok and that she would be back on the road soon. When we got there she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children in the back."
Wrong Fuel Doctor Kingsdown - Fuel Rescue Kingsdown
I had a perfect evening cycling during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a new couple who were on vacation. They had conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Kingsdown, and were around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I listened to the gal berating her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this occurs continuously and that it's nothing at all to stress about, even so he yet still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I drained all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!
