It was just before eight pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were resting there going over the footy rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Woodvale and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel super Hyundai Accent rental by mistake. She was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe space and, because it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Merseyside done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances very simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.

I had been informed she had left the petrol station and pulled up along a country road on the way to visit her godchildren. I punched her location in the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle.

I had a great day fishing on my off day and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I set off to assist a new family vacationing in Woodvale. They broken down after putting diesel in their son's Honda CR-Z, and they were approximately an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl telling her man off for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this happens quite frequently in Merseyside and that it's actually nothing to fret about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half.
