Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.
Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ringwood - Wrong Fuel in Car Ringwood
I had a wonderful evening cycling on my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were on holiday in Ringwood. They had broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their partner's Toyota Camry, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on frequently in Hampshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he all the same had his ear bent by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove away I mouthed so long and wondered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I would never live it down!

This was exactly what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 2:30am and hardly anyone was stirring. It was rather dead up to now, and Mark and I were relaxing reading several old papers. This was an unusual calm moment in Hampshire. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that when the telephone finally rang I jumped! The motorist said: "I've just completed my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in a company's Lexus LX". I instructed him to let us know exactly where he was situated and we set off, getting to him in Ringwood no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he said thank you for arriving so quickly. As we were returning to the office we noticed two girls on the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.
