It was just after six pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the football, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Yardley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford rental in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this can happen.

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and we were en route to help an older sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel BMW in Yardley. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a country lane on route to see her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am getting quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only just bought it a few days back right after my previous car, which I used for about 30 years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant West Midlands lady!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
All over West Midlands we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.
Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely don't start up the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases rather expediently.
Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

I'm not ever excessively keen on running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just departed the wife and kids following a lovely roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman after he had put the incorrect petrol in his Lexus. He was somewhere in Yardley hence I arrived on scene rapidly. As I arrived behind the car and got out he said to me "Praise God! I had my concentration on other stuff and failed to ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any problems by running it?" I explained that generally there should not be damage and that also I'd drain the fuel right away. Obviously I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and then another happy customer had the ability to carry on with their journey without the need for fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make working on Sundays in West Midlands just that small bit easier for me!
