Wrong Fuel in Car Flappit Spring - Petrol in Diesel Car Flappit Spring
It was around 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Flappit Spring hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very irritated apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction done well in my mind!
Things to look for in case you have put incorrect fuel in car
Signs of wrong fuel are quite evident, but in most cases you might not be able to observe all of them. In case your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your vehicle starts losing power no matter how much you press the accelerator, or if your car comes to a stop, then you can suspect that you have put the wrong fuel in your vehicle.
Having said so, if you ever find yourself in a strange car or a car where the autopilot is driving, you should just stay calm. Since you are now acquainted with the signs of wrong fuel or have experienced it, once it occurs you should be able to recognize it. Detecting the problem won't be difficult anymore even without diligently checking out your car.
Besides wrong fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your vehicle to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you use as a propellant. Thus, if your vehicle starts showing the aforementioned signs, you should not only suspect incorrect fuel but also water contamination.
The wrong filling of AdBlue is another thing which can cause your vehicle to exhibit signs such as sputtering, discharge of a lot of smoke and even stoppage. However, we are always prepared to assist you. AdBlue is a substance that is added to a vehicle to help make the engine work more cleanly and should only be added by professionals using its specified filler neck and tank to prevent experiencing the above signs. If you are uninformed of this, you can easily make a mistake resulting in a wrong filling of AdBlue and the above symptoms. But once again, we've got you covered for our technicians can deal with the problem regardless of whether it is incorrect fuel that got you stuck or wrong usage of AdBlue.
We possess the right tools and expertise
You might come up with an idea of solving the problem all on your own or getting a friend to do so to save some funds. But it is not recommended at all because the problem is generally complex and just needs to be handled by somebody who has expertise in the field so as to avoid situations such fire because of incorrect handling of fuel which is considered to be extremely flammable. By allowing us do so, you will be getting a team who has the right skills and tools for solving the problem regardless of whether your vehicle is big or small.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Monday and I was on my way to help an older lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Flappit Spring. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down on a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only just purchased it a short while back right after my other one, which I'd had for in excess of 30 years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful woman!
