It was around 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated discussing the tennis, prepared for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Sudborough and put petrol in her diesel creamy white Land Rover Range Rover Evoque hire car by mistake. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
