It was close to eight pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent tennis results, ready for the next call to come in. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Rushden and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark red Daewoo Nubira hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and less worried. Another job in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases very quickly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

• 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.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
