Wrong Fuel in Car Thornhill Lees - Petrol in Diesel Car Thornhill Lees
A lady with her kids in her diesel Thornhill Lees had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the Texaco service station. She phoned us weeping and very worried as she had never wrong fueled and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that everything should be ok and that she would be on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the little ones in the back."
Signs of incorrect fuel
After refueling your tank, your vehicle may start showing some signs but you might not be able to understand them all. Nevertheless, if your engine begins sputtering or if you start seeing lots of smoke emerging from the exhaust, or your car stops and shows no power at all even if you press the accelerator harder and harder, then it is obvious that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.
Noting all of the above, I assume you'll be very careful in your next stop at the fuel station to refill. From now on, look out for those common causes of putting the wrong fuel in your car:
- You are in a circumstance where you are confused while in a hurry
- Not concentrating - being on autopilot
- Being in a vehicle you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a vehicle
Other than incorrect fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your vehicle to run poorly before coming to a halt, regardless of the kind of gas you use as a propellant. This means that if you encounter any of the earlier mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.
The running of the engine is generally improved making use of a diesel system additive called AdBlue. It is typically administered wrongly, as such, it is crucial that it is done by somebody who knows how to use it. Otherwise, it may end up creating problems to your car. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. When someone who is inexperienced in administering AdBlue correctly, it is common that they miss the mark.
The signs of AdBlue contamination also include the car not moving smoothly and eventually stopping. The good thing is that we are here to help.

It truly was what we call the night shift. It was around 2:30 in the morning and noone was about. It was fairly dead so far, and Ryan and I were sitting around perusing some old articles. It was an unusual quiet hour. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that when the phone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I only just completed my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in my diesel Thornhill Lees by mistake". We got him to let us know just where the vehicle was located and we hit the road, arriving under an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the motor. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. While we were returning home we spotted two young women at the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.
