Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank may contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases quite simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Upham - Wrong Fuel in Car Upham

I'd had a great afternoon cycling during my off day and was feeling pleased the following day as I was en route to aid a new couple on vacation in Upham. They conked out after inserting petrol into their company's Audi S6, and they were approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for being so confused. "Just how could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this problem comes to pass constantly in Hampshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still got an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
