It was close to six pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring!

Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Findon Valley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel black Peugeot 106 rental car. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may well produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.
