Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Hill Top and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel red Land Rover rental car in error. She was very distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will likely trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
