Wrong Fuel in Car Scarcroft - Petrol in Diesel Car Scarcroft
It must be horrible breaking down in a automobile running on the wrong fuel halfway down the road. Our last customer who filled her car with the wrong fuel (Scarcroft) encountered literally that type of crisis: "Obviously I foolishly filled my petrol car with diesel recently. I was so troubled about my mistake that I was besides myself. But I didn't need to worry seeing as you were terrific in draining and cleaning my car."
You may have strange symptoms in your vehicle but you are uncertain if it has connected with the presence of wrong fuel. We have heard situations of clients having similar suspicions only for our technicians to realise a whole different issue. To be sure, here are the common symptoms of incorrect fuel in your vehicle. If you hear your engine spluttering and not running efficiently, or notice too much smoke from your exhaust causing no power to the car and hence forcing the vehicle to a stop, then that is clear sign of burning the wrong fuel.
So in the future, regardless of whether you are unfamiliar with the vehicle or the autopilot is in control, you don't have to panic. Since you are now familiar with signs of wrong fuel or have encountered it, once it occurs you should be able to observe it. And the situation whether you are concentrating or not, will not matter either.
Apart from wrong fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your car to run poorly before coming to a halt, regardless of the kind of gas you use as a propellant. So, should you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.
A lot of modern diesel engines use AdBlue, a system that reduces the air pollution of the engine. Having the right ratio of AdBlue to fuel is crucial, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If someone isn't aware of this and attempts to add it directly into the tank, it will create problems. Again, the symptoms are very like those described above, and we can put things right for you. Here's our message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll be your helping hand any time of the day, anywhere you are".
