It was just before seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were seated commenting on the football rankings, at the ready for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Nutburn and filled petrol in a diesel rugged Audi hire car by mistake. She was very agitated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to reach her quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations very easily.
Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.
