Petrol in the diesel automobile in Potterne? Welcome to Wrong Fuel SoS. Phone us and find out how we can certainly help to get you moving again.
It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing there discussing the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Potterne and filled petrol in her diesel modern Mazda MX-6 rental by mistake. She was very troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could reach the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and less apprehensive. Yet another job in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.
You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.
