A person phoned us from his Lockwood after he had broken down on the hectic road. "I accidentally put petrol in my diesel car and I shortly discovered all about it a couple of miles down the road!" Luckily we were able to get out to him in a fairly short time, bearing in mind the traffic, and he was soon back on the road.
You might be doubting that you have placed the wrong fuel in your car, but you are not certain of the signs. Some clients have in the past reported the problem of incorrect fuel only to realize later that it was another problem. To avoid any doubt, try having these symptoms of the wrong fuel in your fingertip. If the engine starts spluttering and begin working roughly, or if there is the production of excessive smoke resulting in the low supply of power to the vehicle making it stop then there is a high probability that you have put the wrong fuel in your vehicle.
The fact that you now know the signs of wrong fuel in vehicle or have experienced it, it will help you notice the issue if it happens again in future.
But there are means in which you can avoid being in similar situation once again and they include not being in a hurry, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange car which you are not used to traveling in.
Other Fuel Issues in Lockwood
Putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle isn't the only thing that can cause problems. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your vehicle to function poorly and eventually stop altogether. It doesn't matter if your vehicle runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause the same signs to those described above.
Incorrect usage of AdBlue can also cause your engine to sputter, stop or produce a lot of smoke. Nevertheless, 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 experts using its specified filler neck and tank to avoid experiencing the above signs. You should thus only use it if you are totally aware of its process so as to prevent your car from misbehaving because of the incorrect usage of AdBlue. But we are capable of helping you embark on your journey no matter if the problem is incorrect fuel or AdBlue contamination.
