Finally we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Peckforton and filled petrol in a diesel old Cadillac Escalade ESV rental by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I'd had a terrific evening golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I set off to assist a new family holidaying in Peckforton. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their bright white Kia Rio, and they were about an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed as I listened to the gal chastising her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this happens all the time in Cheshire and that it's truly nothing to fret about, nevertheless he still had his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some right fuel.

It truly was what is called the night shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was pretty dead so far, and Ray and I were sitting around looking through a few old newspapers. It was an uncommon restful time in Cheshire. It was that peaceful that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I jumped! The customer on the other end told me: "I completed my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in my new Volvo by mistake". We instructed him to let us know just where he was situated and we left, reaching him in Peckforton 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were going back to base we spotted two ladies at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we got out and helped them change it, to their delight.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
