It was about ten pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing there talking about the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Heath Lanes and filled petrol in a diesel dirty red Renault Megane rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably can happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.
