Wrong Fuel in Car Fell Lane - Petrol in Diesel Car Fell Lane
The driver of a Fell Lane was sorry that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle when he got onto the street and it coughed and stopped. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel vehicle," is what he informed us the first time he phoned. In truth, when he initially phoned us he said he would like to comparison shop, but he called us back soon enough because our price and arrival times were the most appropriate. Naturally, our fuel drainer had him carrying out his deliveries well within the time we had estimated.
What to look for if you have put incorrect fuel in vehicle
After refueling your tank, your vehicle may start showing some signs but you might not be able to catch them all. Nonetheless, if you were driving, and suddenly you observe that your car is emitting excessive smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the car loses power slowly regardless of how much energy you are applying on the accelerator and eventually comes to a stop, then there is little doubt that you are facing a wrong fuel in your vehicle issue.

We learn from experiences and mistakes so we should not get too down so much whenever we deal with such situations since they make us more cautious and equip us with the appropriate mentality and skills on how to deal with such issues in future.

The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of appropriate ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank installed somewhere.

Stories from our own Fell Lane staff:
Wrong Fuel in Car Fell Lane - Petrol in Diesel Car Fell Lane
It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there going over the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the seventh call that day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station and put petrol in a diesel Fell Lane rental. She was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and less concerned. Another job well done in my books!

When she called us we attempted to sooth her as best we could, assuring her that everything would be ok. When we reached her she was no longer disrupted and was rather interested in watching our technician perform the fuel drain on her Fell Lane.
