Wrong Fuel in Car Meltham Mills - Petrol in Diesel Car Meltham Mills

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Monday and I was en route to assist an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Meltham Mills. I had been told she drove away from the filling station and stranded on a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd only just acquired it several days ago when my old one, which I used for more than twenty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful woman!

Putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle isn't the only thing that can cause problems. Contamination with other liquid such as water can cause your engine to stop from working or function normally. Regardless of what type of fuel you use, may it be petrol or diesel, the results and signs of water contamination to your engine are the same.

A lot of modern diesel engines utilize AdBlue, a system that lowers the air pollution of the engine. Having the correct ratio of AdBlue to fuel is significant, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If someone isn't mindful of this and tries to add it straight into the tank, it will cause problems. You will start to notice similar symptoms mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
