Wrong Fuel in Car Holmfield - Petrol in Diesel Car Holmfield
It was after ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were seated there discussing the recent football, prepared for the 8th call that day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage and filled petrol in a diesel Holmfield hire car in error. She was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to find her swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. One more job done well in my books!
Symptoms and Causes
You will probably have just encountered the signs of having the wrong fuel in your vehicle, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, in case:
- Spluttering engine and it won't run efficiently
- You may observe a lot of smoke from the exhaust
- Your vehicle won't have any power no matter how hard you press the accelerator
- Your car will ultimately stop working altogether
Noting all of the above, I assume you'll be careful in your next stop at the petrol station to refill. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.
- You are in a hurry and confused on what precisely to do
- You're in autopilot mode and not checking
- You are using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired
Aside from incorrect fuel in your vehicle, water contamination can also cause your vehicle to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you utilize as a propellant. This means that if you experience any of the previously mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.
Addition of too much or too low AdBlue to your car tank also results in excessive smoke from the exhaust and a sputtering engine too. Luckily you have us, so you have absolutely nothing to be worried about. AdBlue is an additive utilized to boost the anti-pollution system of the engine and should be used by an expert, in fact, it should be added using its own tank instead of being added directly alongside with fuel. Any careless addition will cause a fuel contamination get you stuck on the street with a sputtering engine and low power on your car. But we are capable of helping you embark on your journey regardless if the issue is incorrect fuel or AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Holmfield - Petrol in Diesel Car Holmfield
A somewhat alarmed customer phoned us from the Texaco filling station to inform us that he put unleaded in to his diesel Holmfield; he wasn't really quite certain how he'd managed to do it. We explained to him it was not a situation and rapidly had our fuel drainer with him to clear the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having extracted the contaminated fuel, he was soon back rolling again. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the technician who came out to do the fuel drain was genuinely nice - he didn't make me appear like an idiot."
Wrong Fuel Doctor Holmfield - Fuel Rescue Holmfield
Now I am not ever overly hot for running weekends, and a while back was no different. I had just departed home following a magnificent roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was off to assist a gentleman who had put the wrong fuel in his Holmfield. He was situated nearby hence I was there rapidly. Just as I drove up at the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on any kind of damage by starting it?" I determined truth be told there should not be any problems and also I'd drain the contaminated fuel quickly for him. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and then one more content motorist could continue on their ride without any subsequent hassle. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is what makes working on Sundays just that little bit less painful for me personally!
