It was just before six pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were seated talking over the recent football results, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Shiplake Bottom and put petrol in her diesel partner's Mitsubishi Diamante hire car in error. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen.

We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.
