It was around 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining!

Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Sibford Gower and filled petrol in her diesel classic Nissan Leaf rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle!

We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel can bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

• 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. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
