Finally we got a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Hanchurch and filled petrol in her diesel apricot Seat Alhumbra rental car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things can happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances rather simply.
Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hanchurch
Now I'm not necessarily excessively enthusiastic about working on weekends, and the other day was the same. I had only just come away from the family following a lovely dinner made for me by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow because he filled the wrong petrol in his navy blue Toyota Camry. He was somewhere in Hanchurch and so I arrived there soon. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my mind on other things and failed to realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on any kind of harm simply by driving it?" I explained that generally there probably should not be any damage and also that I would get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and so one more satisfied client had the ability to continue his trip without any subsequent hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and this is what helps make operating on weekends in Staffordshire that little bit better to me!
