Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Arford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel apricot Daewoo Lanos rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

They broken down after adding petrol into their bright red Nissan Cube, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this happens continuously in Hampshire and that it's truly nothing at all to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything had an earful. I felt sorry for the boy.
