Fuel end / Wrong Fuel Service
If you have mistakenly filled the wrong type of fuel or your vehicle's urea (AdBlue) has depleted in a BS6 model, it is important to take appropriate steps to mitigate any potential damage and resolve the issue. Here are some guidelines to consider:
Wrong Fuel (Petrol/Diesel):
- Do not start the engine: If you realize that you have filled the wrong type of fuel, do not start the engine. Starting the engine can circulate the incorrect fuel and potentially cause damage to the fuel system.
- Contact a professional: Seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or towing service to have your vehicle properly drained and the fuel system flushed. They have the necessary tools and expertise to handle the situation safely.
- Avoid driving: Refrain from driving the vehicle until the fuel system has been drained and refilled with the correct fuel. Driving with the wrong fuel can lead to engine damage and other related issues.
Urea (AdBlue) Depletion:
- Warning indicators: In BS6 models equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction systems, a warning light or message will typically alert you when the urea (AdBlue) level is low or depleted. AdBlue is essential for reducing harmful emissions from the exhaust.
- Refilling AdBlue: Purchase the appropriate AdBlue solution, which is available at auto parts stores or service centers. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's instructions for locating and refilling the AdBlue reservoir.
- Resetting the warning light: After refilling the AdBlue, some vehicles may require a reset procedure to clear the warning light or message. Consult the vehicle's manual or contact a service center for guidance on how to reset the warning indicator.
It is crucial to address these issues promptly to prevent any potential damage to your vehicle's fuel system or emission control systems. Seeking assistance from professionals who specialize in your vehicle's make and model will help ensure the correct steps are taken to rectify the situation.
