Wrong Fuel in Car Cookridge - Petrol in Diesel Car Cookridge
We a few weeks ago got a phone call about a driver who put the wrong fuel in his Cookridge. He had ground to a halt on the road. "I couldn't believe how quick you guys were in having a fuel drainer out to assist me when I filled my diesel car with petrol. Thanks". As you can imagine we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival our engineer said the customer was scowling, but was grinning his face off when we finished.
You may be suspecting the presence of incorrect fuel in your car, but you are unsure. We have many the same cases of suspicions experienced by our clients, only for our technicians to find out a completely different problem upon arrival. To avoid any doubt, try having these signs of the wrong fuel in your fingertip. If the engine starts spluttering and begin working roughly, or if there is the production of excessive smoke resulting in the low supply of power to the vehicle making it stop then there is a high probability that you have put the wrong fuel in your vehicle.
That experience of refilling your tank with the wrong fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be careful in the future. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.
- You're in a circumstance where you are confused while in a hurry
- Not focusing - being on autopilot
- Car you are using is borrowed, you're not familiar with it
Your fuel might also be contaminated with water
A sputtering engine with very low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination. You should be aware that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your car consumes diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine resulting in an untimely stop.
AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work with less pollution. However, it should just be utilized by professionals who understand where and how to use it. If not, your vehicle will start behaving badly. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. When somebody who is inexperienced in administering AdBlue correctly, it is very common that they miss the mark.
Such a problem is also shown by the car not running smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. The great thing is that we are here to help. Our technicians are not only knowledgeable on how to handle this problem but also on how to deal with the problem of wrong fuel and water contamination.
