Wrong Fuel in Car Birkenshaw Bottoms - Petrol in Diesel Car Birkenshaw Bottoms

It was just before six pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain!

Before long we received the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage and put petrol in a diesel Birkenshaw Bottoms hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the car!

Things to search for if you have put incorrect fuel in car

Signs of wrong fuel are quite evident, but in most situations you might not be able to notice all of them. If your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your vehicle starts losing power regardless of how much you press the accelerator, or if your vehicle comes to a stop, then you can suspect that you have put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!

  • Being in a hurry or flustered
  • Not concentrating - being on autopilot
  • Car you are utilizing is borrowed, you are not familiar with it

As mentioned earlier, there are other issues that could be the cause of your car issues besides incorrect fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar bad vehicle performance, usually ending in your car breaking down. So, in case you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.

The running of the engine is usually improved utilizing a diesel system additive referred to as AdBlue. It is commonly administered incorrectly, as such, it is significant that it is done by somebody who knows how to utilize it. If not, your vehicle will start behaving badly. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The probability of misusing AdBlue is very high especially if done by someone with no knowledge in this.

Such a problem is also shown by the car not running smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Good news is we are at all times willing to help.
