It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were resting talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the seventh job to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Redenhall and put the wrong fuel in a diesel racing green Fiat Panda rental car in error. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to move the car to a secure spot and, as it was just a short distance off from the office, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations very easily.
Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Redenhall
I am not necessarily too inclined to doing work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids following a wonderful lunch prepared by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman who put the wrong petrol in his silver Nissan Leaf. He was stationed in Redenhall and so I was on scene almost immediately. As I arrived behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my attention on other things and did not ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about some harm as a result of driving it?" I stated that there probably should not be any harm and also I would get the wrong fuel drained immediately for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and then one more happy motorist could continue on his trip with no difficulty. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make earning a living on weekends in Norfolk just that tiny bit less painful in my opinion!
