It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were seated there commenting on the football results, ready for the seventh call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Horner and put the wrong fuel in her diesel daughter's Mitsubishi rental car. The poor thing was quite troubled apparently, saying "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and less stressed. Another job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in fuel may bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances rather simply.
Bear in mind that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.
