It was after ten pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing there going over the recent sports, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in North Owersby and filled petrol in her diesel customised Volvo S40 hire car in error. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, as it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances very simply.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Sunday and we were on my way to assist an old lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel yellow Chevrolet Corsica in North Owersby. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and stranded along a country road on the way to visit her godchildren. I punched the location in the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle.

I got the drain completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a lovely Lincolnshire lady!
