It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were resting going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 6th job to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Woodcote and put the wrong fuel in a diesel beloved BMW 8 Series rental car. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things sadly often happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel is likely to result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
