It was close to 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there discussing the recent golf results, ready for the seventh job to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Westleigh and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel daughter's Audi lease car in error. The poor thing was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from our van, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got really wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases quite simply.
Remember though that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.
