It was before 8 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated discussing the golf, ready for the sixth call to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Sutton and put petrol in her diesel dark green Kia Sportage hire car in error. She was pretty irritated apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations rather quickly.
Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Sutton - Fuel Rescue Sutton
This was what is called the night shift. It was around 2am and hardly anyone was about. It had been pretty dead until now, and Brian and I were relaxing perusing a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare tranquil time in Bedfordshire. Actually it was in fact so quiet that the moment the telephone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the other end explained: "I've only just ended my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a luxury VW Passat in error". We told him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Sutton an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the engine and he said thanks for showing up so quickly. As we were going back to the office we noticed two young women at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Obviously we pulled over to help them change it, much to their elation.
