It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were relaxing commenting on the football, waiting around for the sixth job of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Redlands and put the wrong fuel in her diesel sombre grey Mercedes S-Class hire car by mistake. The poor lady was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things sadly do happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, because it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. Another job in Dorset well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations pretty expediently.
Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Redlands
I'm not excessively interested in doing work weekends, and the other day was no different. I'd only just come away from the family following a tasty lunch made for me by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a guy who had put the incorrect petrol in his dirty red Cadillac Allante. He was only in Redlands and so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my thoughts on other stuff and didn't realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about any damage through driving it?" I determined that there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel immediately for him. Obviously I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and so yet another satisfied client had the ability to carry on with his journey without any fuss. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Dorset that little better for me!
