Contamination with AdBlue or Water
You should know that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The existence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car produce a lot of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But you should also remember that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.
The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution used to enhance the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above symptoms. Utilizing AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. Hence, it should only be utilized by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.
In both of the cases above, we can offer the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the wrong fuel in your vehicle. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. We can also replace those fuel filters damaged by water.

A gentleman had broken down just off a street. His Lords Wood car had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was wrong till he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle."

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling contented with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young family who were away. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol into their Lords Wood, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl telling her husband off for being so foolish. "How could you even manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this situation takes place regularly and that it's nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
