Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in New Barton and put petrol in a diesel uncle's BMW Z4 M Roadster rental in error. The poor thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
