It was after six pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were resting talking over the rugby results, waiting for the seventh call that day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Hodnet and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel grass green BMW Z4 M Roadster rental in error. The unfortunate lady was very agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.
Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

This really was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to dawn and almost noone was around. It had become rather uneventful until now, and Ray and I were relaxing looking through a few old papers. This was an uncommon peaceful hour in Shropshire. Actually it was indeed so calm that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the other end stated: "I have just ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel dark red Ford C-MAX Hybrid by mistake". We got him to inform us exactly where the car was situated and we hit the road, ending up in Hodnet only an hour or so later. The fuel was extracted from the engine. He said thanks for arriving so quickly. While we were going back home we noticed two young ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up and helped them change it, to their elation.
