It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated there talking over the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the next call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Nettlestead and filled petrol in her diesel bright white Dodge Colt hire car. The poor lady was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. One more job in Suffolk done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases pretty quickly.
You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were en route to help an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel faithful Renault Modus in Nettlestead.

I completed the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Suffolk lady!

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