Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel will trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

• 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 VAT receipt.
