It was after 8 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the footy results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in High Ongar and put the wrong fuel in her diesel raspberry red Porsche Boxster lease car. The poor thing was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less concerned. One more job in Essex done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances quite easily.
Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.
