Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel will lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

• 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.
