The poor lady was very agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases very swiftly.
Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hollington - Wrong Fuel in Car Hollington
I appreciated a terrific afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to assist a young family who were vacationing in Hollington. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their dark red Citron, and they were roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl chastising her husband for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place regularly in Hampshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he still had an earful by his missus. Poor boy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing...
