Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Hindley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel red Mitsubishi Expo hire car by mistake. The poor thing was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.
