Wrong Fuel in Car Wilsden Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Wilsden Hill
We a few weeks ago got a call about a guy who put the incorrect fuel in his Wilsden Hill. He had broken down on the road. "I couldn't believe how speedy you people were in having an engineer out to help me after I stupidly filled my diesel car with petrol. Thank you so much". Obviously we appeared rapidly and purged the engine after flushing all the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival the technician said the client was raging, but was grinning his face off afterwards.
Signs of the Problem and its Causes
Your experience of having a tank fueled with the incorrect fuel may teach you see the signs of the problem. For complete reference for future use, here's a list of the signs:
- Spluttering engine and it won't run smoothly
- The exhaust produces lots of smoke
- Even you totally press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
- Your vehicle will ultimately stop running altogether
The fact that you now know the signs of wrong fuel in vehicle or have experienced it, it will help you notice the issue if it happens again in future.
But there are ways in which you can avoid being in similar situation once more and they include not being in a rush, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange vehicle which you are not used to traveling in.
Other Fuel Issues in Wilsden Hill
Putting the incorrect fuel in your car or truck isn't the only thing that can cause problems. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your car to function poorly and eventually stop altogether. It doesn't matter if your vehicle runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause the same symptoms to those described above.
Adblue is a diesel system additive typically put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less polluted. However, it should just be utilized by experts who understand where and how to use it. Or else, it would cause issues and problems to your vehicle. To avoid any troubles, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. But it is very possible to encounter incorrect AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the procedure.
Just like when a vehicle has incorrect fuel, AdBlue also causes the vehicle not to move smoothly and eventually cause the car to stop. The great thing is that we are here to help. Our technicians are not only experienced on how to deal with this issue but also on how to address the problem of incorrect fuel and water contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Wilsden Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Wilsden Hill
Now I'm not ever excessively excited about doing work on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had only just left the family filled with a lovely roast prepared by the wife, and I was en route to help a fellow who filled the incorrect fuel in his Wilsden Hill. He was somewhere nearby hence it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created some problems through driving it?" I explained generally there probably should not be any damage and also that I would personally drain the fuel as soon as possible for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then another delighted motorist was able to carry on with his ride without any fuss. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what tends to make working on weekends that little bit better in my opinion!

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a sunny Tuesday and I was on the way to help an old lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Wilsden Hill. I had been told she had left the filling station and pulled up on a country lane along the way to see her family. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd just got it a short while back because my old one, which I had used for in excess of thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a delightful lady!

It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated there going over the weekend's golf, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Wilsden Hill rental. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, because it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could find the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and less concerned. One more misfuel correction done well in my opinion!
