It was close to seven pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting there talking over the recent golf, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Bedham and put petrol in her diesel grass green Porsche Carrera GT lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from our van, we could get to the lady quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly easily.
Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was about sunrise and nobody was around. It had become rather uneventful until now, and Paul and I were loafing about browsing a couple of old papers. This was an uncommon calm time in West Sussex. It was so relaxing that the moment my mobile inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the opposite end explained: "I just completed my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my sunflower yellow Smart Forfour by mistake". We got him to let us know exactly where he was located and we hit the road, arriving in Bedham only an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thanks for showing up so promptly. As we were coming back to base we saw two girls on the edge of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, to their elation.

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.
