To be honest, we are the contractor to help you!
It was before six pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting talking about the football results, prepared for the 6th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Sturminster Common and filled petrol in her diesel dad's Renault Traffic hire car. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, as it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. Another job in Dorset done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances very quickly.
Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had become quite dead until now, and Paul and I were sitting looking at a few old magazines. It was an unusual tranquil time in Dorset. It was so tranquil that when my mobile eventually rang I jumped! The voice told me: "I've concluded my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel bright red VW Tiguan". We told him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Sturminster Common under half an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the engine and he said thanks for coming so fast. While we were returning to the depot we spotted two girls on the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.
