It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting talking about the recent football results, ready for the sixth call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Farrington Gurney and put petrol in her diesel cream Austin Mini hire car. The poor thing was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
