It was just before five pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring!

Inevitably we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Holmer Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel pristine BMW 8 Series rental car in error. The poor lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle!

We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases very simply.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

I had a great evening cycling during the weekend and felt contented the following day as I set out to help a new family holidaying in Holmer Green. They pulled over after inserting diesel into their creamy white Seat Toledo, and they were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed while I listened to the lady telling off her hubby for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this goes on constantly in Buckinghamshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, however he all the same got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. As they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
