Wrong Fuel in Car Wellington Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Wellington Hill

It was before 5 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated talking about the footy rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station and filled petrol in a diesel Wellington Hill rental car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty affected apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this do happen. She managed to move the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from the office, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain done well in my mind!

Diesel engines (modern ones) today make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollutants in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of correct ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank installed somewhere.
