Wrong Fuel in Car Heaton - Petrol in Diesel Car Heaton
It was just after 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were sitting going over the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Heaton rental in error. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from where we were, we could reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain done well in my books!

A sputtering engine with very low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. It does not matter whether your car uses diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to run roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also know about it.

The signs you will observe is the same as what were mentioned above but don't panic we get it fixed.
