Wrong Fuel in Car Normanton - Petrol in Diesel Car Normanton
A relatively alarmed driver called us from the Texaco petrol station to tell us that he put petrol in to his diesel Normanton; he wasn't exactly sure how he'd done it. We informed him it was absolutely no situation and quickly had our engineer with him to clean the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having extracted the wrong fuel, he was soon back rolling again. He told us; "I am honestly surprised I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the man who came to take care of the fuel drain was especially nice - he did not make me feel like a fool."

Other Fuel Issues in Normanton
Problems in the fuel system may not only due to wrong fuel in the vehicle. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your car to run poorly and ultimately stop altogether. Regardless of what type of fuel you make use of, may it be petrol or diesel, the outcomes and signs of water contamination to your engine are similar.
AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine run cleaner. It is typically administered incorrectly, as such, it is important that it is done by somebody who knows how to use it. Or else, it would cause issues and problems to your car. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The probability of misusing AdBlue is quite high especially if done by someone with no knowledge in this.
Signs of AdBlue contamination also include the car not moving smoothly and eventually stopping. Great news is we are always willing to help. Our mobile technicians are used to dealing with a wide range of vehicle issues, not just water contamination or having the wrong fuel in the car but this type of problem too.

Wrong Fuel in Car Normanton - Petrol in Diesel Car Normanton
It was before 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! James and me were sitting talking about the tennis results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Normanton lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could find the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain well done in my mind!
