It was close to eight pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing discussing the rugby results, at the ready for the next job that day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Redlynch and put the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey Hyundai Entourage hire car. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure space and, because it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases rather simply.
Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Redlynch - Wrong Fuel in Car Redlynch
I had enjoyed a fantastic day fishing on my off day and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I set out to aid a young family on vacation in Redlynch. They had pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their beloved Cadillac SRX, and were about half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for being so silly. "How could you even be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this situation occurs quite frequently in Somerset and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained out all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and considered what my missus would ask me if ever I made the very same mistake... I would never ever live it down!

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