It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing going over the footy results, at the ready for the 8th job of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Sandy Cross and put the wrong fuel in her diesel well worn Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG lease car in error. The poor thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe space and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Surrey done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances very easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
