Wrong Fuel in Car Mankinholes - Petrol in Diesel Car Mankinholes
A woman with her youngsters in her diesel Mankinholes had put £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She contacted us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be back in action very quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children in the back."
Signs of the Problem and its Causes
You will probably have just experienced signs of having the wrong fuel in your vehicle, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, just in case:
- Spluttering engine and it won't run smoothly
- If you see the exhaust, you will notice plenty of smoke coming out
- Your vehicle won't have power regardless of how hard you press the accelerator
- The car will stop on its own
We learn from experiences and mistakes so we shouldn't get too down so much once we encounter such scenarios since they make us more cautious and equip us with the appropriate mentality and skills on how to deal with such problems in future.
But there are means in which you can avoid being in the same situation once again and they include not being in a hurry, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange car which you are not used to traveling in.
Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.
Presence of water in fuel is yet another thing which can make your car behave in the way mentioned above. Hence you also have to consider it. 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 leading to an untimely stop.
Adblue is a diesel system additive often put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less dirty. However, it should only be used by experts who understand where and how to use it. Otherwise, it may end up causing problems to your vehicle. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The probability of misusing AdBlue is very high particularly if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.

Wrong Fuel in Car Mankinholes - Petrol in Diesel Car Mankinholes
This was certainly what is called the night shift. It was about dawn and noone was stirring. It had been pretty uneventful so far, and me and Brian were sitting around perusing a number of old articles. It was a rare calm hour. Actually it was indeed that calm that the moment the telephone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist stated: "I only just finished my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel Mankinholes". I instructed him to let us know just where the car was situated and we set off, getting to him only an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he thanked us for coming so promptly. As we were coming back to the office we spotted two ladies on the edge of the road who looked like they had a flat. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, to their elation.
