It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Barton-le-Willows and put petrol in a diesel metallic green Cadillac Seville rental car. The poor thing was rather distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, since it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may well cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in YO60 Postcode - Barton-le-Willows Misfueling

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Saturday and I was on my way to help an elder lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel yellow Saab 9-4X in Barton-le-Willows. I'd been advised she drove away from the filling station and was broken down along a rural road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only just got it a few days ago right after my former car, which I had owned for more than twenty five years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant North Yorkshire lady!

• 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.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
