Wrong Fuel in Car Harden - Petrol in Diesel Car Harden

It was around 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing commenting on the recent golf, at the ready for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Harden rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction done well in my books!

Noting all of the above, I assume you'll be very careful in your next stop at the gas station to refill. You'll want to look back at what precisely are the potential causes of why it happened.

  • You are in a situation where you are confused while in a hurry
  • Not concentrating - being on autopilot
  • Being in a car you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a vehicle

Presence of water in fuel is yet another issue

You should remember that the contamination of fuel by water is another issue that can cause similar signs stated above. You should be aware that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your car consumes diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine leading to an untimely stop.

Addition of too much or too low AdBlue to your vehicle tank also results in too much smoke from the exhaust and a sputtering engine too. Nonetheless, we are always prepared to assist you. AdBlue is an additive utilized to improve the anti-pollution system of the engine and should be utilized by an expert, in fact, it should be added using its own tank instead of being added directly alongside with fuel. If you are not aware of this, you can easily make a mistake resulting in a wrong filling of AdBlue and the above symptoms.

Now I'm not actually very hot for running on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids filled with a fantastic dinner made for me by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman because he filled the wrong fuel in his Harden. He was stationed nearby thus I was with him soon. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and didn't realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about problems as a result of starting it?" I explained generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and also that I'd personally drain the fuel quickly. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and so one more satisfied motorist could continue on their traveling without the hassle. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays a little better to me!
