Paul and I were relaxing there talking about the recent football, prepared for the next call that day to come in. In due time we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Wynds Point and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic grey Ford Transit Connect hire car in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wynds Point - Wrong Fuel in Car Wynds Point

I'd had a fantastic afternoon golfing on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple on holiday in Wynds Point. They'd stopped after filling diesel in their rugged Cadillac DeVille, and they were approximately an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Herefordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he still had an earful by his better half. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. While they drove away I shouted so long and considered what my missus would say to me if I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
