It was before ten pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated there going over the weekend's rugby, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Penselwood and filled petrol in her diesel expensive Seat Altea rental car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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