Ryan and me were sitting there talking about the recent football, at the ready for the seventh call to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Camblesforth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel maroon Volvo240 rental by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite easily.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Camblesforth - Wrong Fuel in Car Camblesforth

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon golfing on my holiday and felt pleased the next working day as I set off to help a young couple on holiday in Camblesforth. They stopped after adding petrol in their pristine Chevrolet Malibu, and were around an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place regularly in North Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and thought about what my missus would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

• 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.
