Ray and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Townsend and put petrol in a diesel metallic blue Porsche 911 rental by mistake. She was very irritated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we could get to her without delay.

Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your automobile.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases fairly expediently.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
