It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were relaxing talking about the sports results, waiting for the sixth call to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Luton and put petrol in her diesel BMW rental car. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

Tank directly filled up with AdBlue - Fuel system can be contaminated if AdBlue is directly added in the tank. This liquid is misunderstood by money as a fuel additive. It's not. It is a liquid primarily used to control the emission of smoke in the exhaust. This should not be immediately added to the fuel tank but a separate tank ought to be mounted for this purpose.
