Wrong Fuel in Car Little Preston - Petrol in Diesel Car Little Preston

I had a fantastic afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt pleased the next day as I set off to aid a new family who were on vacation. They broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their Little Preston, and the car was about half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled while I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place constantly and that it's really absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he still had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

Other Fuel Issues in Little Preston

Vehicle problems are not attributed only to incorrect fuel in the fuel system. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your vehicle to run poorly and eventually stop altogether. It doesn't matter if your vehicle runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause very similar symptoms to those described above.

AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work cleaner. It is typically administered wrongly, as such, it is crucial that it is done by someone who knows how to use it. If not, your car will start running badly. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The possibility of misusing AdBlue is quite high particularly if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.

Just like when a car has wrong fuel, AdBlue also causes the vehicle not to run smoothly and eventually lead to the vehicle to stop. Good news is we are at all times ready to help. Our mobile technicians are used to managing a great deal of vehicular problems, not only water contamination or having the incorrect fuel in the vehicle but this kind of issue too.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
