It was close to seven pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's sports rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Northend and filled petrol in a diesel yellow Ford Ranger rental car. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.
