Wrong Fuel in Car Woolley - Petrol in Diesel Car Woolley
The owner of a Woolley was sorry that he had put unleaded in his diesel automobile when he got onto the street and it coughed and ceased. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel car," is what he said to us the very first time he called. To tell the truth, when he first phoned us he said he'd shop around, but he phoned us back before long because our price and call-out times were the most desirable. Naturally, our fuel drainer had him once again carrying out his deliveries well within the period we had cited.
Signs of the Problem and its Causes
You will probably have just encountered signs of having the wrong fuel in your vehicle, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, in case:
- Your engine will splutter and not work smoothly

As stated earlier, there are other problems that could be the cause of your vehicle problems aside from wrong fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar bad vehicle performance, generally ending in your car breaking down. So, if you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.

Stories from our Woolley mechanics:
Wrong Fuel in Car Woolley - Petrol in Diesel Car Woolley
It was just after 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there going over the football, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage and put petrol in a diesel Woolley rental by mistake. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. Another fuel drain well done in my books!

This really was what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It was pretty uneventful thus far, and Ray and I were sitting around reading through a couple of old papers. It was an uncommon tranquil moment. It was so tranquil that when the phone rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I've just ended my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my Woolley". We asked him to inform us where exactly he was located and we hit the road, arriving no more than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He said many thanks for getting there so quickly. As we were returning home we noticed two women at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. So we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.
