It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting there going over the recent sports, ready for the 8th job of the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Woodlands and put the wrong fuel in a diesel black Nissan hire car. She was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things often happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations very easily.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Woodlands - Wrong Fuel in Car Woodlands

I had a great afternoon hiking on my off day and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I headed out to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Woodlands. They had broken down after putting diesel into their maroon Hyundai Equus, and the car was close to an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I heard to the lady berating her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing goes on quite frequently in Greater Manchester and that it's really nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got an earful. Unlucky boy. In any case, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my wife would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!
