Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations very simply.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle.

• 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.
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 VA receipt.
