Wrong Fuel in Car Oxenhope - Petrol in Diesel Car Oxenhope
Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel Oxenhope. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a rural lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel because I had only just purchased it a short while back when my old car, which I'd owned for about 30 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely lady!
Signs of the Problem and its Causes
Now that you have personally experienced what it is like to have the incorrect fuel in your car, you may be be cautious next time. And to fully understand the signs of the problem here's a list for future reference:
- Your engine will splutter and not work efficiently
- If you see the exhaust, you will notice plenty of smoke coming out
- Your car won't have power regardless of how hard you press the accelerator
- The car will stop on its own
So in the future, regardless of whether you are unfamiliar with the car or the autopilot is in control, you do not have to panic. Since you are now familiar with signs of incorrect fuel or have experienced it, once it occurs you should be able to observe it. It would not matter if you are concentrating on the problem or not, you will just identify it.
Your fuel might also be contaminated with water
You should remember that the contamination of fuel by water is another problem that can cause the same signs stated above. It does not matter whether your vehicle uses diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also know about it.
AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine run with less pollution. However, it should only be utilized by experts who understand where and how to use it. Otherwise, it may end up causing problems to your vehicle. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. When somebody who is inexperienced in administering AdBlue correctly, it is very common that they miss the mark.
Just like when a vehicle has wrong fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to run smoothly and eventually lead to the vehicle to stop. Great news is we are always willing to help. Our mobile technicians are used to dealing with a great deal of car problems, not just water contamination or having the wrong fuel in the vehicle but this kind of issue too.

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was around. It was fairly dead so far, and Paul and I were loafing browsing several old magazines. It was a rare calm time. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that when the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The customer on the other end said: "I finished my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in a diesel Oxenhope in error". We instructed him to tell us just where the vehicle was and we left, ending up under an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the engine. He said thanks a lot for showing up so quickly. As we were going back home we noticed two girls on the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to change it, to their elation.
