Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

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.

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.

  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
