Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Longbridge and put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright white Toyota Prius lease car in error. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.
