Other Fuel Issues in Holme
Problems in the fuel system may not only due to incorrect fuel in the vehicle. Contamination with other liquid like water can cause your engine to stop from running or function normally. It doesn't matter if your car runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause similar signs to those described above.
Diesel engines (modern ones) today use AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollution in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of correct ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank mounted somewhere. If somebody isn't aware of this and attempts to add it directly into the tank, it will create problems. You will start to notice similar symptoms mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it.

I was pleased due to both how quick you were and your rates". Naturally we showed up rapidly and purged the engine after flushing all the petrol from the diesel tank.
