It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated there discussing the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Potthorpe and put petrol in a diesel well worn Volvo C70 lease car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected position and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases quite swiftly.
Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.
