It was about five pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's footy, prepared for the 8th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Shadwell and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey Seat rental car. The poor thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could reach the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather expediently.
Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
