Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.
Remember though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Monday and we were off to assist an elder lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Ford in The Butts.

I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she told me, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only just bought it a short while back after my previous one, which I had used for more than twenty years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Hampshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car The Butts
I am not necessarily excessively enthusiastic about doing the job on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after having a superb roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow who filled the wrong petrol in his dad's Volkswagen Tiguan. He was situated in The Butts therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I pulled up right behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about damage as a result of starting it?" I said truth be told there should not be problems and also I'd personally drain the wrong fuel quickly. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and then one more content client had the ability to continue his trip without fuss. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this makes carrying out work on Sundays in Hampshire just a small bit better for me!
