Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be cautious in your next stop at the gas station to refill. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.

  • You are in a hurry and confused on what exactly to do
  • Not concentrating - being on autopilot
  • You're using a vehicle you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired

You should also bear in mind that incorrect fuel is not the only problem that can cause your vehicle to show the above indications. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car not run efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. This means that if you experience any of the earlier mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

A lot of modern diesel engines make use of AdBlue, a system that lowers the pollution of the engine. Having the correct ratio of AdBlue to fuel is important, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue.

Wrong Fuel in Car Halton - Petrol in Diesel Car Halton

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was about dawn and nobody was stirring. It had become pretty dead until now, and me and Ryan were sitting perusing some old articles. That was an unusual quiet hour. It was indeed so relaxing that when the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone told me: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in the Halton in error". I instructed him to let us know where exactly he was located and we headed out, arriving only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the car. He said thanks a lot for coming so quickly. As we were coming back to base we spotted two ladies at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up to help them change it, to their delight.
