Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations pretty simply.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Heatley - Wrong Fuel in Car Heatley

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon hiking on my day off and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a new family away in Heatley. They stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their beautiful Peugeot 405, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked as I listened to the gal chastising her spouse for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this goes on constantly in Cheshire and that it's actually nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyhow, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
