It was before 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there discussing the tennis, waiting for the 8th telephone call 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 Shell filling station in Lower Woodside and put petrol in a diesel dark green Volkswagen Golf III rental car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. A job in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations fairly quickly.
Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

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