It was before five pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting talking over the recent footy results, at the ready for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Portesham and filled petrol in a diesel modified Ford Fusion rental. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car to a secure area and, because it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to reach her quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will often result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
