Wrong Fuel in Car Thunder Bridge - Petrol in Diesel Car Thunder Bridge
It was around 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the 6th job to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Thunder Bridge lease car in error. The poor lady was quite distressed it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could reach her quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain done well in my mind!

The symptoms stipulated above will also be seen in your engine even though it's only water contamination to either petrol or diesel run engine.
Adblue is a diesel system additive often put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less polluted. It is commonly administered wrongly, as such, it is important that it is done by someone who knows how to use it. If not, your car will start behaving badly. To avoid any problems, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. But it is very possible to encounter incorrect AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by somebody who is not aware of the procedure.
Just like when a car has incorrect fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to run smoothly and eventually lead to the car to stop. Luckily, we are here for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Thunder Bridge - Petrol in Diesel Car Thunder Bridge
This was exactly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about 3 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had been fairly quiet until now, and me and John were relaxing perusing several old papers. It was an unusual calm hour. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the moment my mobile rang it made me start! The voice on the other end told me: "I have just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel Thunder Bridge by mistake". I told him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was and we headed out, getting to him 30 minutes later. The fuel was taken out from the engine and he said thank you for coming out so fast. While we were returning home we found two ladies on the side of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to change it, to their delight.
