It was after six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting there talking about the weekend's sports results, ready for the next fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Great Burdon and put petrol in a diesel teal MINI Countryman hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty affected apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe position and, since it was only a short distance off from us, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and a lot less worried. A job in County Durham well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel may cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases quite easily.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.
