Wrong Fuel in Car Sandhurst Cross - Petrol in Diesel Car Sandhurst Cross

We explained to him it was no worry and quickly had our fuel drainer out to him to clear the contaminated fuel from his tank. Having extracted the wrong fuel, he was soon enough back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the person who arrived to perform the fuel drain was incredibly fantastic - he did not make me look and feel like a fool."

AdBlue is a solution which is utilized remove harmful gases from the engine's exhaust, and if it is put in the diesel tank then it can also cause the same issues. AdBlue contamination can also happen if it is used by somebody who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should only be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.
