It was close to 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were sitting talking about the weekend's football results, waiting for the 6th call to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Upper Longdon and filled petrol in a diesel sunflower yellow Mercedes CLK-Class rental in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things do happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could reach her almost instantly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Upper Longdon - Wrong Fuel in Car Upper Longdon

I'd had a fantastic day cycling during the weekend and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I was on the way to assist a young couple vacationing in Upper Longdon. They'd pulled over after putting diesel in their bright yellow Volvo S90, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this occurs quite frequently in Staffordshire and that it is nothing to stress about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved farewell and thought about what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in 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. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
