Wrong Fuel in Car Copton - Petrol in Diesel Car Copton
It was around seven pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were seated there discussing the weekend's footy, at the ready for the seventh call to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Copton hire car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected area and, as it was just a short distance away from the office, we could find the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and less concerned. Yet another job done well in my mind!

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

The presence of water in your fuel also makes your car to show similar symptoms, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.
Yet another thing which can cause similar symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by somebody who has no know-how on how or where it should be added.
