Wrong Fuel in Car Frizinghall - Petrol in Diesel Car Frizinghall
It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting going over the weekend's footy, waiting for the next call to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage and filled petrol in her diesel Frizinghall hire car. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain done well in my books!

You should thus only use it if you are fully aware of its process so as to prevent your vehicle from misbehaving due to the wrong usage of AdBlue. But we are capable of assisting you embark on your journey regardless if the problem is wrong fuel or AdBlue contamination.
