The poor lady was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases very simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
