It was just before five pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting discussing the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th job to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Leverington Common and filled petrol in her diesel wife's Skoda Citigo rental car. The poor thing was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. Another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations very simply.
Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Leverington Common
I'm not ever excessively excited about doing work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had only just come away from the family after a superb Sunday roast cooked for us by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his stylish Mercedes S-Class. He was somewhere in Leverington Common so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I arrived right behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on stuff and didn't ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I inflicted some damage simply by starting it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be harm and also that I'd personally remove the fuel right away. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the correct fuel, and one more contented customer had the ability to carry on with his traveling without any fuss. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes operating on weekends in Cambridgeshire that little bit easier for me personally!

A young lady from Leverington Common with her children in her diesel beloved Kia Sportage had filled her car with £45 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She called us sobbing and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We told her that all would be alright and that she would be in action soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the youngsters in the back."
