Wrong Fuel in Car Allerton Bywater - Petrol in Diesel Car Allerton Bywater
I had a terrific day hiking during my day off and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I set out to help a young couple on vacation. They stopped after putting diesel into their Allerton Bywater, and the car was around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the gal chastising her spouse for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this occurs continuously and that it is nothing to fret about, however he all the same had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I waved goodbye and pondered on what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
You might be suspecting that you have put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle, but you are not sure of the signs. We have many the same cases of suspicions experienced by our clients, only for our technicians to discover a totally different problem upon arrival. In order for you to be sure that your vehicle is experiencing problems as a result of wrong fuel, we have put together some of the common signs for you. Look out for signs that are clear indications of wrong fuel, such as a non-smooth or spluttering engine, excessive smoke coming out of your exhaust, and often forcing your vehicle to a stop as a result.
All that said, you will probably be more cautious in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. From now on, be aware of those common causes of putting the incorrect fuel in your car:
- Being in a rush or flustered
- Out of concentration because you are on autopilot
- Vehicle you are using is borrowed, you are not familiar with it
Presence of water in fuel is yet another problem
A sputtering engine with very low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. You should be aware that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your vehicle uses diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine leading to an untimely stop.
Diesel engines (modern ones) today make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollution in the exhaust fumes. Having the correct ratio of AdBlue to fuel is crucial, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If someone isn't aware of this and attempts to add it directly into the tank, it will cause problems. Again, the signs are very like those described above, and we can put things right for you. Here's our message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll be your helping hand any time of the day, anywhere you are".

We do know that some of our customers are company employees who have to table any proof of spending to their employer or may need some evidence of payment for the insurance company to process their claims, therefore, we provide a VAT invoice to make their work easier.
Upon arrival, our mechanics jump straight to work. They eliminate the contaminated fuel, flush the entire fuel system and when they are sure that it is ok, then they re-fill your tank with enough clean fuel depending on how much fuel you need.
