It was just after six pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were seated there talking about the rugby results, ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Northampton and put petrol in her diesel work's Dodge Charger rental in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could find the woman without delay.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
