The unfortunate thing was quite distressed apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel may well trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
