Wrong Fuel in Car Collingham - Petrol in Diesel Car Collingham
We have done quite a few fuel drains on cars and trucks run with the wrong fuel. Last week there was a lady in her Collingham: "I foolishly poured the incorrect fuel in my diesel motor and was stuck in the middle of the street. You sent one of your technicians out to me within a half-hour and the car was back on the road again right away. Your company had me on my way once more within 60 minutes. Thanks a lot."
Warning Signs and Causes
Now that you have personally experienced what it's like to have the incorrect fuel in your car, you may be be careful next time. And to completely understand signs of the problem here's a list for reference:
- The engine won't run and it's spluttering
- The exhaust releases lots of smoke
- Even you totally press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
- The car will stop on its own
That experience of filling up your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be cautious in the future. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.
- Being in a rush or flustered
- You're in autopilot mode and not checking
- Vehicle you are utilizing is borrowed, you are not familiar with it
Your fuel might also be contaminated with water
Presence of water in fuel is yet another thing which can make your car behave in the manner explained above. Hence you also have to consider it. It does not matter whether your vehicle runs on diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to run roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also pay attention to it.
Addition of too much or too low AdBlue to your car tank also results in too much smoke from the exhaust and a sputtering engine too. Nevertheless, we are always willing to assist you. AdBlue is a substance that is added to a vehicle to help make the engine work cleaner and should only be added by experts using its specified filler neck and tank to avoid experiencing the above symptoms. If you are not aware of this, you can easily make a mistake resulting in a wrong filling of AdBlue and the above symptoms. You should thus keep in mind that whether it is incorrect fuel or adding AdBlue directly, we can help you hit back on the road.
We have the necessary equipment and skills
You might come up with an idea of dealing with the problem all on your own or hiring a friend to do so to save some money. But you are wrong because the above issues are quite complicated and should only be solved by somebody who is fully trained so as to avoid incidents such as fire caused by wrong handling of fuel. Our mobile technicians have the right tools and skills on how to solve the above problems no matter the type of car.

Wrong Fuel in Car Collingham - Petrol in Diesel Car Collingham
I had a fantastic afternoon cycling on my off day and was feeling cheerful the following day as I set out to help a new family holidaying. They broken down after inserting petrol in their Collingham, and were close to an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs continuously and that it's nothing to get worried about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and considered what my wife would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would never ever live it down!

It was just after 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were resting there going over the recent rugby, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station and put petrol in a diesel Collingham lease car. The poor thing was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and not so worried. One more fuel drain well done in my opinion!
