It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's tennis, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Newbold Heath and put the wrong fuel in a diesel modern Peugeot 406 rental in error. She was very irritated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, since it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Leicestershire done well in my opinion!

We can easily help to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will take care of the usual issues that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases rather expediently.
Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

This really was what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It was rather uneventful until now, and Ray and I were relaxing reading through a few old papers. That was an unusual peaceful time in Leicestershire. It was in fact that calm that the instant my mobile rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end explained: "I've only just finished my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel mint green Daihatsu Rocky". I got him to tell us just where he was and we hit the road, ending up in Newbold Heath half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back home we found two girls at the edge of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to help them change it, to their elation.
