Wrong Fuel in Car Troydale - Petrol in Diesel Car Troydale

What a quality night of sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Tuesday and we were en route to help an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Troydale. I'd been advised she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a country road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel since I'd just acquired it a short while ago right after my other car, which I owned for over thirty years, eventually died on me". I finished the job and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful lady!

Other Fuel Issues in Troydale

Putting the wrong fuel in your car isn't the only thing that can cause problems. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your vehicle to run poorly and ultimately stop altogether. No matter what kind of fuel you use, may it be petrol or diesel, the effects and signs of water contamination to your engine are similar.

The running of the engine is commonly enhanced using a diesel system additive called AdBlue. However, it should just be utilized by professionals who understand where and how to use it. Otherwise, it may end up creating problems to your car. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The possibility of misusing AdBlue is quite high especially if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.

Such a problem is also shown by the car not running smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Luckily, you have us. Our technicians are not only skilled on how to solve this issue but also on how to handle the problem of incorrect fuel and water contamination.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

A customer with her youngsters in her diesel Troydale had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She phoned us crying and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that all should be okay and that she would be on the road soon.
