This really was what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to 3 in the morning and nobody was around. It was pretty quiet thus far, and me and Ray were loafing about looking through several old newspapers. That was an uncommon calm time. It was in fact so peaceful that when my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the other end explained: "I have concluded my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in the Thorpe on The Hill". We got him to inform us exactly where he was and we set off, arriving 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine. He thanked us for arriving so rapidly. As we were coming back to base we found two young ladies at the side of the street who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

That experience of filling up your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be very careful in the future. You'll want to look back at what exactly are the possible causes of why it happened.

  • You're in a hurry and confused on what exactly to do
  • Not concentrating - being on autopilot
  • You are using a car 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 car to show the aforementioned indications. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your vehicle not work efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. This implies that if you encounter any of the earlier mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

Incorrect usage of AdBlue can also cause your engine to sputter, stop or produce a lot of smoke. Luckily you have us, so you have nothing to worry about. AdBlue is a substance that is added to a vehicle to make the engine work more cleanly and should only be added by professionals utilizing its specified filler neck and tank to prevent experiencing the above signs. Any reckless addition will cause a fuel contamination get you stuck on the road with a sputtering engine and low power on your car or truck. You should thus keep in mind that whether it is wrong fuel or adding AdBlue directly, we can help you hit back on the road.

Wrong Fuel in Car Thorpe on The Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Thorpe on The Hill

A woman with her kids in her diesel Thorpe on The Hill had put £42 of petrol at the Sainsburys station. She phoned us sobbing and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what could happen to her car . We told her that everything should be okay and that she would be ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the youngsters in the back."
