It was after 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain!

Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Saltcotes and filled petrol in her diesel navy blue Ford Club Wagon lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
