Other Fuel Issues in Larkfield
Putting the wrong fuel in your car isn't the only thing that can cause problems. Water can contaminate your fuel system too, causing the engine to stop or run abnormally. It doesn't matter if your car runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause the same signs to those described above.
Adblue is a diesel system additive frequently put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less polluted. But it can only be utilized by people who know how to use it appropriately. Otherwise, it may end up causing problems to your car. To avoid any problems, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. But it is very possible to encounter incorrect AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the process.
Such a problem is also shown by the vehicle not running smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Great news is we are at all times willing to help. Our technicians are experts in this area too in addition to problems dealing with water contamination and incorrect fuel in the vehicle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Larkfield - Petrol in Diesel Car Larkfield
Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Larkfield. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a rural lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it several days ago right after my other car, which I had for in excess of twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. What a precious lady!
