Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases fairly simply.
Take note that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

A customer had broken down on a road, Bonsall having just wrong fueled. She was crying and really troubled as she had put £55 of petrol in her diesel car.

Tales from our Bonsall personnel:
Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bonsall
We completed a wrong fuel retrieval job outside a spectacular property in Bonsall not so long ago. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to nearly arrive at home when my car broke down." Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was rather late at night, and carried out a fuel drain and cleanse on the son's Vauxhall Signum .
Wrong Fuel Doctor Bonsall - Fuel Rescue Bonsall
This really was what is called the night shift. It was about dawn and nobody was around. It had become fairly quiet so far, and Ryan and I were sitting reading some old newspapers. This was an unusual calm moment in Derbyshire. It was indeed so relaxing that when the telephone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist said: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in my metallic blue Seat Mii by mistake". We told him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was and we set off, reaching him in Bonsall less than an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us for getting there so quickly. As we were coming back home we saw two young women at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?
If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.
Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:
- How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
- Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.

- Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
