It was after seven pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were resting discussing the sports, prepared for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Packers Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel silver Cadillac Sixty Special hire car in error. She was fairly distressed it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from us, we could find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Dorset done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
