Wrong Fuel in Car Manor Park - Petrol in Diesel Car Manor Park
It was about 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting going over the recent tennis, waiting for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station and filled petrol in her diesel Manor Park lease car. She was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could get to the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and a lot less worried. A job well done in my mind!
What to consider if you have put incorrect fuel in car
The signs of incorrect fuel are evident, but in most situations you might not be able to observe all of them. Nevertheless, if your engine begins sputtering or if you start seeing lots of smoke coming out of 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.

AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work cleaner. However, it should just be used by experts who understand where and how to use it.
