It was around 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were relaxing there discussing the rugby, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Sutton Mallet and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel grey Jaguar XJ Series lease car by mistake. The poor thing was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we could reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. Another job in Somerset well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations fairly quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.
