It was about 7 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there talking about the tennis results, prepared for the 8th call to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Avoncliff and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel luxury BMW 530 hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from us, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may well produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases fairly quickly.
Take note though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Avoncliff - Wrong Fuel in Car Avoncliff
I appreciated a great day hiking on my holiday and felt contented the following morning as I headed out to aid a young family who were away in Avoncliff. They had broken down after inserting petrol in their buff Jaguar XJ, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smiled as I listened to the gal chastising her spouse for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass everyday in Wiltshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he all the same got an earful. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
