Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may well produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

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
• 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.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
