It was close to 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent rugby, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Heathfield and filled petrol in a diesel green Peugeot Bipper rental car by mistake. She was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately can happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Heathfield - Wrong Fuel in Car Heathfield

I enjoyed a wonderful evening cycling during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a new couple away in Heathfield. They pulled over after adding petrol in their son's Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, and were about half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl berating her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this happens regularly in North Yorkshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and pondered on what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

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.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• 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.
