It was after 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting there commenting on the recent footy results, at the ready for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Woodston and put the wrong fuel in a diesel luxury Peugeot 104 hire car. She was quite irritated apparently, crying "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Yet another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your fuel may well bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances pretty swiftly.
Remember however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.
