It was just after five pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting talking over the recent football, at the ready for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Dry Drayton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel pristine Chevrolet Malibu rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from the office, we could reach her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases very quickly.
Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CB23 Postcode - Dry Drayton Misfueling
Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were off to help an older lady who put petrol in her diesel silver BMW 8 Series in Dry Drayton. I had been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down along a country road on route to see her godchildren. I punched her location into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a short while ago because my former one, which I had had for over twenty five years, finally stopped working". I finished the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a precious Cambridgeshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Dry Drayton
I'm not actually excessively enthusiastic about working weekends, and the other day was no different. I had only just departed the family following a magnificent lunch prepared for us by the missus, and I was off to deal with a guy after he put the wrong petrol in his work's Kia Spectra5. He was located in Dry Drayton therefore I arrived with him soon. As I arrived right behind the car and got out he said to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about some harm by simply starting it?" I explained there probably should not be damage and also that I'd personally get the fuel drained quickly for him. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and thus another happy client was able to continue their trip without bother. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and this is what can make earning a living on weekends in Cambridgeshire a little easier in my opinion!
