It was just before eight pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! James and I were relaxing there talking over the recent tennis results, ready for the sixth call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Langley Green and put petrol in a diesel teal Ford Galaxie rental. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, because it was only a short distance off from our van, we could find her right away. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

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.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
