Finally we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Coleby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic blue BMW 645 hire car in error. The poor lady was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the lady right away.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
