James and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's sports, prepared for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Stanmore and put the wrong fuel in her diesel yellow Audi Coupe Quattro hire car. She was very agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases very simply.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stanmore - Wrong Fuel in Car Stanmore

I had a wonderful afternoon hiking on my off day and felt delighted the next day as I headed out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Stanmore. They broken down after putting petrol in their dark red Vauxhall Signum, and the car was approximately half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman telling her man off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this happens all the time in Hampshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he still got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel.

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
