Wrong Fuel in Car Ramslye - Petrol in Diesel Car Ramslye

It was just before eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the recent football rankings, waiting for the 8th job that day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ramslye rental. The unfortunate thing was very agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and less stressed. One more misfuel correction well done in my books!

At the end of the day, our technician will be taking a tank-full of contaminated fuel they have drained from a few vehicles that will need to be disposed of. You aren’t allowed to pour such things these days as it will pollute waterways and have a dangerous effect on the environment, and may even contaminate the local water supply. But we can manage it for you since we have the right tools, and we are accredited by the Environment Agency to do so.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your vehicle function badly. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be noticed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. This situation of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

You can also observe the same signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. However, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's precisely why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If this is added into the fuel tank by someone who knows nothing of AdBlue, the outcome would be bad for the engine.

But you don't need to fret since we can fix both problems for you by applying the same procedure used in solving the problem of wrong fuel. So, if your issue is incorrect fuel, water contaminated fuel, broken fuel filters or AdBlue into the wrong tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus allowing you to continue with your journey.
