It was close to 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were seated there discussing the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Bolstone and put the wrong fuel in a diesel red Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 lease car. The poor lady was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HR2 Postcode - Bolstone Misfueling

What a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Sunday and we were on my way to assist an old lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel luxury Mercedes CLS-Class in Bolstone. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a country road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and got there within an hour. I turned up at the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she told me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd just acquired it a short while ago right after my previous one, which I'd used for over twenty years, eventually died". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Herefordshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Bolstone - Wrong Fuel in Car Bolstone

I had appreciated a fantastic day fishing during my day off and felt pleased the following morning as I headed out to aid a new family vacationing in Bolstone. They broken down after inserting diesel in their expensive Audi A7, and they were around an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl chastising her spouse for being so stupid. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass everyday in Herefordshire and that it's nothing to fret about, and yet he still had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good bye and thought about what my missus would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
