Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite easily.
Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.
Wrong Fuel in Car in BS16 Postcode - Shortwood Misfueling
Just had a fantastic night of sleep! 7:00 on a bright Tuesday and I was on the way to help an old woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel deep grey Mitsubishi Montero in Shortwood. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel because I had only just bought it a couple of days ago when my old car, which I'd used for more than thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Gloucestershire lady!
