Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Lower Hayton and filled petrol in her diesel light green Hyundai Tiburon rental in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations quite quickly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
