A young lady had come to a stop on a street, just after having misfueled. She was weeping and truly agitated as she had put £55 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we tried to cool her as best we could, reassuring her that everything would be okay. By the time we reached her she was not annoyed any more and was very intrigued in observing our engineer perform the fuel drain on her Moor Top. Later she said: "My car is like my child, I only just bought it and so it truly freaked me out that I had put such an abundance of wrong fuel in it. I'm very gratified that it was so easily fixable."
Symptoms and Causes

- Your engine will splutter and not run efficiently

We learn from experiences and mistakes so we shouldn't get too down so much whenever we encounter such situations since they make us more cautious and equip us with the appropriate mentality and skills on how to deal with such problems in future. Engaging in mistakes such as speeding, concentrating on different things and letting the autopilot do all of it especially when driving a car that you are unfamiliar with for instance a borrowed or hired vehicle is highly discouraged.

The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of appropriate ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank mounted somewhere.
