Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

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.
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.
