Wrong Fuel in Car Upper Heaton - Petrol in Diesel Car Upper Heaton
It was about 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring! James and me were resting there talking over the tennis, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station and filled petrol in her diesel Upper Heaton lease car in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Another job well done in my books!
Indicators of incorrect fuel
Whenever you refuel your vehicle tank with the wrong fuel, your car may start giving many signals that should get you concerned, unfortunately, you may be not able to master them all.

Having said so, if you ever end up in a strange car or a car where the autopilot is driving, you should just relax. Since you are now acquainted with the signs of wrong fuel or have encountered it, once it occurs you should be able to observe it. It would not matter if you're concentrating on the problem or not, you will just detect it.
Presence of water in fuel is another problem
A sputtering engine with very low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. It will make your car behave abnormally and ultimately stops regardless of whether it uses diesel or petrol thus you should also suspect it if you find yourself in a situation of doubt.
Adblue is a diesel system additive often put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less dirty. It is generally administered wrongly, as such, it is essential that it is done by somebody who knows how to use it. Otherwise, it may end up creating problems to your car. To avoid any issues, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. But it is very possible to experience incorrect AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the procedure.
Such a problem is also shown by the vehicle not running smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Great news is we are at all times willing to help. Our mobile technicians are used to handling a wide range of vehicle problems, not only water contamination or having the incorrect fuel in the car but this type of problem too.
Flammable materials require not just adequate expertise, but also a variety of relevant tools to manage them appropriately. Fuel for instance, can ignite quickly, turning a small issue into a catastrophic one. It is therefore advisable you involve an expert whenever you are dealing with fuel related problems, although doing it on your own or involving a friend may be cheaper.
Furthermore, our technicians are distributed nationwide, and they are educated to deal with different cars and sort different issues at very inexpensive prices and over a remarkably short time.
We find pleasure in serving our clients well, while at the same time conserving the environment, we are also authorized by the Environment Agency. After draining and flushing the fuel system of clients who have put wrong fuel in their vehicles, or whose fuel is contaminated, we store and later dispose of the contaminated fuel according to the law.
As long as we have access, there is no limit on the size of the contaminated fuel tank. Whether it is a fixed storage tank, a mobile bowser or a group of containers with contaminated fuel, rest assured we have got you covered.
Right after the technician arrived in your location, without taking too much time, you would be impressed at how fast he drains your tank. He will then change it with clean and fresh fuel. If there are other problem brought about by this wrong fuel such as damaged fuel filter, he will change it out with a new part so you can get back to the road as soon as possible.
