It was before seven pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Oakle Street and filled petrol in a diesel classic Vauxhall Zafira lease car by mistake. She was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Wednesday and we were on my way to help an elder woman who had put petrol in her diesel modern Fiat in Oakle Street. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and was broken down on a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped the location in the TomTom and got there inside an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she said, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only purchased it a short while back after my former car, which I'd used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Gloucestershire woman!

I appreciated a terrific afternoon cycling on my off day and felt pleased the following day as I set out to aid a new couple who were away in Oakle Street. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their boss' Peugeot Boxer, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smirked as I heard to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this takes place frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyways, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
