Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly easily.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was around 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had been fairly uneventful up to now, and me and Ryan were loafing around perusing a few old newspapers. This was an unusual quiet moment in Essex. Actually it was that calm that when the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The motorist on the other end said: "I just finished my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel red BMW X5 M by mistake". We instructed him to let us know just where he was located and we headed out, getting to him in Great Braxted no more than half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he said thanks a lot for arriving so fast. While we were returning home we saw two women on the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, to their elation.
