It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were seated commenting on the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Downside and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel racing green Hyundai Genesis lease car in error. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and less stressed. Another job in Hounslow done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

    • 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.
