It was before 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Thringarth and put petrol in a diesel elegant Kia Soul rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could reach the customer without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and a lot less apprehensive. A job in County Durham done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel will likely cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DL12 Postcode - Thringarth Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Saturday and I was off to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel dark red BMW M5 in Thringarth. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched her location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I reached the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a few days back because my other car, which I used for more than twenty years, inevitably died". I completed the job and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful County Durham woman!

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
