Wrong Fuel in Car Thornhill - Petrol in Diesel Car Thornhill

I'd had a perfect day golfing on my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a young family on holiday. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their Thornhill, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I heard to the woman telling off her spouse for actually being so confused. "How could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation occurs on daily basis and that it's really nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he yet still got an earful. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and considered what my wife would say to me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Diesel engines (modern ones) today make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollution in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of correct ratio to avoid further problem.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• 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.
