The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can easily produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances quite simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
