It was just after 10 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's footy results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Woodford Halse and put petrol in her diesel pristine Audi A8 lease car. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, because it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.
