Wrong Fuel in Car John OGaunts - Petrol in Diesel Car John OGaunts
I'm not overly inclined to doing work weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after a magnificent lunch made for me by the missus, and I was on my way to assist a guy after he filled the incorrect fuel in his John OGaunts. He was located nearby so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on stuff and failed to realise I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about any kind of problems through starting it?" I revealed generally there should not be damage and that I'd drain the fuel at once for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and one more content customer was able to carry on with their journey without any fuss. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes earning a living on Sundays a little better in my opinion!

We learn from experiences and mistakes so we shouldn't 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 abilities on how to manage such issues in future. Engaging in mistakes like speeding, concentrating on different things and allowing the autopilot do all of it particularly when driving a vehicle that you are unfamiliar with for instance a borrowed or hired vehicle is discouraged.
Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.
You should note that the contamination of fuel by water is another problem that can cause similar signs stated above. You should know that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your car uses diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine resulting in an untimely stop.
In order to boost the cleanliness of modern diesel engines exhausts today, owner uses AdBlue. The proper amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very important. It's typically mounted on a separate tank to avoid directly mixing to your fuel tank. If you hire someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the right procedure, it's more likely to cause trouble to your engine. Again, the signs are very like those described above, and we can put things right for you. Just remember what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for help and we'll be there".

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Monday and I was on my way to assist an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel John OGaunts. I had been informed she had left the filling station and was pulled up along a country lane on route to visit her family. I punched the location into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel as I'd only got it several days back because my previous one, which I had had for in excess of thirty years, inevitably died on me". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious woman!
