Wrong Fuel in Car Dockroyd - Petrol in Diesel Car Dockroyd
This really was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was around. It had become rather uneventful until now, and me and Ray were relaxing looking through a number of old magazines. It was a rare peaceful time. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the moment the phone ultimately rang I leaped! The customer on the phone told me: "I concluded my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in the Dockroyd by mistake". I got him to inform us where the vehicle was located and we headed out, getting to him an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming out so promptly. As we were returning to the office we spotted two women on the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.
Things to search for if you have put incorrect fuel in vehicle
Whenever you refuel your car tank with the wrong fuel, your car may start giving many signals that should get you concerned, unfortunately, you may be unable to master them all. Nonetheless, if your engine starts sputtering or if you start seeing lots of smoke emerging from the exhaust, or your car stops and shows no power at all even if you press the accelerator harder and harder, then it is almost a given that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.
We learn from experiences and mistakes so we should not get too down so much once we deal with such situations since they make us more cautious and equip us with the appropriate mentality and abilities on how to deal with such issues in future. You should avoid being in a hurry, not concentrating when you are on autopilot, and being in a vehicle you are borrowing or hiring to avoid going through the same mistake.
Apart from incorrect fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your car to run poorly before coming to a halt, regardless of the kind of gas you utilize as a propellant. Thus, if your car starts showing the aforementioned signs, you should not only suspect incorrect fuel but also water contamination.
A lot of modern diesel engines make use of AdBlue, a system that decreases the air pollution of the engine. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of correct ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank attached somewhere. If you hire someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the correct procedure, it's more likely to cause trouble to your engine. You will start observing similar symptoms mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dockroyd - Petrol in Diesel Car Dockroyd
Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a gloomy Saturday and I was en route to help an elder lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Dockroyd. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up on a rural lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd only got it a short while ago right after my old car, which I used for about 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious woman!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Dockroyd - Fuel Rescue Dockroyd
A rather alarmed customer phoned us from the BP petrol station to advise us that he had put unleaded in to his diesel Dockroyd; he wasn't actually sure how he'd managed to do it. We explained to him it was no hassle and rapidly had our man with him to clear the incorrect fuel from his vehicle. Having taken away the wrong fuel, he was almost immediately back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the guy who was sent to do the fuel drain was very fantastic - he did not make me look like a plonker."

- Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
- Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
- Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
