Wrong Fuel in Car Armitage Bridge - Petrol in Diesel Car Armitage Bridge
I'm not actually overly hot for working on weekends, and a week ago was no different. I had just left the family after a wonderful Sunday roast prepared by the wife, and I was on the way to help a fellow who filled the incorrect petrol in his Armitage Bridge. He was somewhere nearby so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on other things and did not perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought on any problems through driving it?" I stated generally there probably should not be damage and also I would drain the fuel at once for him. Naturally I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and so one more pleased motorist could continue his trip with no hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays a little bit less painful in my opinion!
You may be doubting the presence of incorrect fuel in your vehicle, but you are not sure. 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 make sure your vehicle is experiencing problems due to wrong fuel, we have come up with some of the common signs for you. If the engine starts spluttering and start running roughly, or if there is the production of too much smoke resulting in the low supply of power to the vehicle making it stop then there is a high probability that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.
Now that you are aware of the indications of incorrect fuel in a vehicle, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more cautious in future and be certain of not making the mistake. Engaging in mistakes such as speeding, concentrating on different things and letting the autopilot do it all especially when driving a vehicle that you are unfamiliar with for example a borrowed or hired car is highly discouraged.
Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above symptoms.
A sputtering engine with low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination. It will make your car behave abnormally and ultimately stops regardless of whether it runs on diesel or petrol thus you should also suspect it if you are in a situation of doubt.
The running of the engine is usually improved utilizing a diesel system additive referred to as AdBlue. But it can only be used by people who know how to use it correctly. Otherwise, it may end up causing problems to your car. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The possibility of misusing AdBlue is very high particularly if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.
Signs of AdBlue contamination also include the vehicle not running perfectly and eventually stopping. Great news is we are at all times ready to help. Our technicians are not only knowledgeable on how to solve this issue but also on how to address the problem of wrong fuel and water contamination.
We possess the right tools and expertise
Some people get tempted to deal with the issue on their own or seek the assistance of a close friend who they think is knowledgeable with engines with the hope of saving the repair charge.
