Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Hales Green and filled petrol in her diesel metallic red Volvo XC60 lease car in error.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may well contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases very easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

I enjoyed a wonderful day hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the following day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were away in Hales Green. They stopped after inserting diesel into their dark green Renault Scenic, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her hubby for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this occurs frequently in Derbyshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, however he all the same had an earful. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!
