Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Hunderton and put petrol in a diesel metallic red Peugeot 107 rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've wrecked the car!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
