It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated discussing the weekend's footy results, prepared for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Riplingham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel apple green Audi V8 rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could reach her quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and not so worried. One more fuel drain in East Riding of Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in your fuel may cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.
Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.
