It was just after six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting going over the weekend's footy results, prepared for the next job that day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Swanwick and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel khaki green Audi Q5 hire car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was just a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at her swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances rather simply.
Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

- Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
