!!!!!!! Bad fuel (diesel)
Just been out with my friend in his mams 75 cdti and filled it withe diesel at the swallwel jet garage £45 worth started the car pulled forward and then the car had a spluter so me first instinct was he had put petrol in so he nocked the car off and when and check with the desk clark and he had filled up with diesel so he started the car the as he did the engine reved araticaly to the point the rev counter was in the red. i no that diesels only rev like that when there is water in the fuel. so nocked the car off straight away and called the aa. aa turned up and checked the fuel throw the lines and found it is full of water bad thing is the engine now has a very loud nocking nosie aa said it could be a failed in jector or a bent valve with the amount of water entering the cylinder and hydrolicing. AA have reported water in the fuel take to be the fuel stations proplem so waiting for fuel station to test the tankes

Running a petrol station is a bit like running a pub - you have to look after the tanks/pipes.
Good luck with getting the petrol station to accept liability- they rarely do. |

eek. My dad once filled up a van at a local garage with "diesel"... Only got about 50yrds before it cut out...... What he had put in in actual fact was pure water.... Something to do with they were cleaning out the tanks.... |

Hiya. Okay, right.... Did you get some sort sig to acknowledge that there was indeed a problem with the pump? Or indeed speak to the manager? Only thinking of protecting your interests here you understand... |
