Wrong Fuel in Car New Sharlston - Petrol in Diesel Car New Sharlston
It was just before 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and me were sitting there going over the rugby, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station and filled petrol in a diesel New Sharlston rental car in error. The poor lady was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to get the car to a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and not so concerned. Another job done well in my opinion!

It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank attached somewhere.

Wrong Fuel Doctor New Sharlston - Fuel Rescue New Sharlston
Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on the way to help an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel New Sharlston. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the car. As I was working she said to me, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only just acquired it a couple of days back when my previous car, which I'd had for over thirty years, inevitably died on me". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious lady!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?
If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
