It was just before six pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing discussing the recent footy rankings, waiting for the next call that day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Ratlinghope and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic red Kia Soul rental by mistake. The poor thing was very agitated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at her without delay.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases very expediently.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ratlinghope - Wrong Fuel in Car Ratlinghope

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling pleased the next day as I set off to assist a new family who were away in Ratlinghope. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their dark red Audi S5, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smiled as I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this takes place regularly in Shropshire and that it's nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same error... I would never live it down!
