It was just after 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were sitting talking over the sports results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Stourpaine and filled petrol in a diesel partner's BMW Z4 rental car by mistake. She was very affected apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to help an old lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel red Citron Picasso in Stourpaine. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural lane en route to see her family. I popped her location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she said, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only just bought it a few days ago right after my other car, which I owned for more than 25 years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Dorset woman!
