Wrong Fuel in Car Stone Chair - Petrol in Diesel Car Stone Chair
It was just after 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were seated talking about the recent rugby results, waiting for the next telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Stone Chair lease car. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could reach the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain done well in my books!

- The engine won't work and it's spluttering

Other Fuel Issues in Stone Chair
Putting the incorrect fuel in your car isn't the only thing that can cause problems. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your vehicle to function poorly and ultimately stop altogether. No matter 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 the same.
AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work cleaner. But it can only be utilized by people who know how to use it properly. Or else, it would cause issues and problems to your vehicle. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to encounter wrong AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the process.
Such a problem is also shown by the car not moving smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. The good thing is that we are here to help. Our technicians are not only skilled on how to handle this problem but also on how to handle the issue of incorrect fuel and water contamination.

It was after ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were sitting talking about the weekend's sports, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station and filled petrol in her diesel Stone Chair rental in error. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this often happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction well done in my opinion!
