When she called us we tried to relax her as best we could, encouraging her that it would be no problem.

Things to search for in case you have put wrong fuel in vehicle
After refueling your tank, your car may begin showing some signs but you might not be able to understand them all.

All that said, you will possibly be more cautious in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your car. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.
- Being in a hurry or flustered
- You're in autopilot mode and not checking
- Vehicle you are using is borrowed, you're not familiar with it
As pointed out earlier, there are other problems that could be the cause of your car problems other than incorrect fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar poor car performance, generally ending in your vehicle breaking down. So, should you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.
AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine run with less pollution. It is typically administered incorrectly, as such, it is significant that it is done by someone who knows how to utilize it. Otherwise, it may end up creating problems to your car. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to encounter incorrect AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the process.
Just like when a vehicle has incorrect fuel, AdBlue also causes the vehicle not to run smoothly and eventually lead to the vehicle to stop. Great news is we are always willing to help. Our mobile technicians are used to managing a great deal of vehicular problems, not only water contamination or having the incorrect fuel in the vehicle but this type of problem too.

Reports from our own Friendly technicians:
Wrong Fuel in Car Friendly - Petrol in Diesel Car Friendly
I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing on my holiday and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I set off to aid a new couple on vacation. They had conked out after filling petrol into their Friendly, and the car was about an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife chastising her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this problem takes place regularly and that it's nothing to be anxious about, and yet he still had an earful. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove off I shouted goodbye and wondered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!

It only took the fuel drainer approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel from the car. He carefully flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean diesel in the car. The customer was completely satisfied and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to get the work professionally done.

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
