Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather quickly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lechlade on Thames - Wrong Fuel in Car Lechlade on Thames

I had appreciated a terrific evening golfing on my off day and felt contented the next day as I set out to assist a new couple who were on vacation in Lechlade on Thames. They had stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their boss' BMW Alpina B7, and were about an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this goes on frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's really nothing to fret about, and yet he still had his ear bent by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and wondered what my wife would say to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd never live it down!

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.

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