It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were resting discussing the weekend's golf, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Woodhill and filled petrol in a diesel rust red Mazda Navajo hire car. The poor thing was fairly distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to her without delay.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.
