It was around 10 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and me were resting there talking about the weekend's sports results, prepared for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Compton Bishop and filled petrol in a diesel clean white Peugeot Partner rental by mistake. The poor thing was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, since it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
