Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

I wanted to tell her that this occurs on daily basis in Hampshire and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor lad. In any case, I drained all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel.

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.

• 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.
