It was before eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were sitting commenting on the golf, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Emerson Valley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel winter grey Mitsubishi Pajero rental. The poor thing was very irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was staying in.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and we were on the way to help an elder sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel racing green Nissan Leaf in Emerson Valley. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station and broken down on a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I reached the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she explained, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel since I had just purchased it a week back right after my other one, which I had for about 30 years, eventually died on me". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Buckinghamshire lady!
