Wrong Fuel in Car Chevin End - Petrol in Diesel Car Chevin End
We a few weeks ago got a phone call from a man who had put the wrong fuel in his Chevin End. He had broken down on the road. "I couldn't believe how fast you guys were in having a fuel drainer out to aid me when I filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you so much". Naturally we showed up rapidly and purged the engine after flushing all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival our fuel drainer said the customer was scowling, but was happy when we finished.
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 are some the signs:
- Spluttering engine and it won't run smoothly
- If you see the exhaust, you will notice lots of smoke coming out
- Even you totally press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
- The vehicle won't work anymore
Now that you know the indicators of wrong fuel in a vehicle, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more careful in future and be certain of not making the mistake. You should avoid being in a rush, not focusing when you are on autopilot, and being in a car you are borrowing or hiring to avoid going through the same mistake.
You should also bear in mind that incorrect fuel is not the only problem that can cause your car to show the above indications. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your vehicle not work efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. Thus, if your vehicle starts showing the aforementioned signs, you should not only suspect incorrect fuel but also water contamination.
Diesel engines (modern ones) nowadays use AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollutants in the exhaust fumes. The correct amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very important. It's usually mounted on a separate tank to prevent directly mixing to your fuel tank. If you get somebody to directly add this to your tank without knowing the proper procedure, it's more likely to cause trouble to your engine. The signs you will observe is just like what were mentioned above but don't worry we get it fixed. Just bear in mind what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for assistance and we'll be there".
