It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Chalfont St Peter and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel red Cadillac Escalade ESV rental in error. The poor thing was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could find the woman quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations very easily.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.
