It was just after five pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there discussing the tennis, ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Peebles and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to move the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was residing in.

There is a probability that these cans still have water in it and were included in refilling your car?s tank.

Adding AdBlue to your fuel tank - AdBlue contamination happens when you put AdBlue in your fuel tank, usually by accident. It takes place when people don't correctly understand what it's for. AdBlue isn't a fuel additive, it's a liquid that reduces harmful emissions from the exhaust, and it is likely to go in a special tank reserved for the purpose.

Red diesel contamination of your engine - There are around 1500 garages marketing red diesel in the UK. So you should not be surprised by the fact that red diesel can end up in your fuel tank.

Wrong Fuel Peebles - Peebles Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a perfect day hiking during my off day and felt contented the following working day as I set out to assist a new couple vacationing in Peebles. They pulled over after inserting petrol into their Renault, and were approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for actually being so stupid. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass frequently in Scottish Borders and that it is nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still got an earful. Poor chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
