Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations rather easily.
Take note that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bollihope - Wrong Fuel in Car Bollihope
I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing on my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I was on the way to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Bollihope. They'd stopped after putting diesel in their baby blue Range Rover Classic, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I listened to the girl chastising her man for being so silly. "How could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass continuously in County Durham and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, but he still had his ear bent by his wife. Poor boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved so long and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Bollihope
I'm certainly not that keen on doing the job on weekends, and last week was the same. I'd only just left home following a magnificent dinner made by the wife, and I was on the way to help a fellow after he had put the wrong petrol in his mint green Mitsubishi Expo. He was located in Bollihope hence I arrived on scene very quickly. Just as I drove up behind the car and got out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created any kind of harm as a result of running it?" I determined generally there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then yet another contented customer could continue on their trip without the need for difficulty. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what can make operating on weekends in County Durham just a small bit better to me!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Bollihope - Fuel Rescue Bollihope
It truly was the night shift. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been rather dead up to now, and me and Brian were relaxing perusing a couple of old magazines. It was a rare peaceful hour in County Durham. Actually it was so relaxing that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the phone stated: "I completed my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel light green BMW 5 Series". We told him to tell us exactly where he was situated and we set off, getting to him in Bollihope only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. As we were coming back to the office we spotted two women at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we pulled up to change it, to their delight.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?
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.
Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:
- How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
- 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.
- Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
- Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
