It was close to ten pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the seventh call to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Wicklewood and filled petrol in a diesel mint condition BMW 550 rental car. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was residing at.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.
