A customer driving nearby called us shortly after she had tried to get her wrong fueled car to work. She had filled petrol in her diesel Crofton and, like many before her, thought that she could basically fill her car with diesel and it'd run okay. The engine was chugging and then it died when she got to the entrance of her office.

She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm really relieved you sorted my car."

Other Fuel Issues in Crofton
Car troubles are not attributed only to incorrect fuel in the fuel system. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your vehicle to function poorly and ultimately stop altogether. Regardless of what type of fuel you use, may it be petrol or diesel, the outcomes and signs of water contamination to your engine are the same.
A lot of modern diesel engines utilize AdBlue, a system that reduces the air pollution of the engine. The proper amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very crucial. It's generally mounted on a separate tank to avoid directly mixing to your fuel tank. If someone directly added this to your tank not realizing the right tank to put it in, your engine will be in big trouble since it is is incorrect to mix it with fuel. Again, the symptoms are very like those stated above, and we can put things right for you. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can almost certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.

Wrong Fuel in Car Crofton - Petrol in Diesel Car Crofton
It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the football rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage and filled petrol in a diesel Crofton rental car in error. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and that such things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and much less worried. A fuel drain well done in my mind!
