It was about eight pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased raining! James and me were sitting going over the football results, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Hallatrow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel grass green Chevrolet Colorado rental. She was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.
Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It was pretty dead so far, and Ray and I were relaxing reading through several old articles. That was an unusual quiet hour in Somerset. Actually it was in fact that quiet that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me start! The person stated: "I've only just completed my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my spotless Skoda Yeti". I got him to tell us exactly where the car was situated and we hit the road, getting to him in Hallatrow only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. As we were going back home we saw two girls on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we stopped to change it, to their elation.
