Wrong Fuel in Car Wrose - Petrol in Diesel Car Wrose
Now I am certainly not very inclined to carrying out work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left home after eating a magnificent Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman who had filled the incorrect fuel in his Wrose. He was situated nearby thus I was with him before long. Just as I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on something else and failed to perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on any harm because of starting it?" I determined that there probably should not be any damage and that also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel quickly. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and so another content motorist had the ability to continue on their trip with no bother. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make earning a living on weekends just that small bit better in my opinion!
Causes and Obvious Symptoms
You will likely have just encountered the signs of having the wrong fuel in your vehicle, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, just in case:
- The engine won't run and it's spluttering
- The exhaust releases lots of smoke
- Even you totally press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
- The car will stop on its own
We learn from experiences and mistakes so we should not get too down so much whenever we face such scenarios since they make us more careful and equip us with the appropriate mentality and abilities on how to handle such problems in future.
But there are means in which you can avoid being in similar situation once again and they include not being in a hurry, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange car which you are not used to traveling in.
Your fuel might also be contaminated with water
A sputtering engine with low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. You should know that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your vehicle uses diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine resulting in an untimely stop.
Diesel engines (modern ones) today use AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollution in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of correct ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank attached somewhere. If you get someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the proper procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. The signs you will observe is just like what were cited above but don't fret we get it fixed. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can almost certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.
