Wrong Fuel in Car Odsal - Petrol in Diesel Car Odsal
This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was about 2am and noone was about. It had been pretty uneventful thus far, and me and John were loafing looking through several old magazines. This was an unusual quiet time. It was in fact that quiet that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I have finished my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel Odsal by mistake". We told him to inform us where exactly he was located and we set off, getting to him under 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he thanked us for arriving so quickly. While we were heading back home we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

All that said, you will probably be more careful in future, now that you have experienced putting the wrong fuel in your car. You'll want to look back at what precisely are the potential causes of why it happened.
- Being in a hurry or flustered
- Out of concentration because you are on autopilot
- You're using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired
Besides 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. So, in case you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.
Diesel engines (modern ones) these days make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous contaminants in the exhaust fumes. The proper amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very important. It's usually mounted on a separate tank to prevent directly mixing to your fuel tank. If someone isn't mindful of this and attempts to add it straight into the tank, it will cause problems. Again, the symptoms are very like those stated above, and we can put things right for you. Just bear in mind what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for help and we'll be there".

Wrong Fuel in Car Odsal - Petrol in Diesel Car Odsal
What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a sunny Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel Odsal. I had been informed she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a rural lane en route to see her grandchildren. I popped her location in the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I'd only purchased it several days ago right after my previous car, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant woman!
