It was before 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking about the recent golf, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Lower Thurlton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel rust red Kia Sedona rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She was able to get the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could get to the customer rather quickly.

One more misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations very simply.
Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.
